Disclosure Day
Steven Spielberg returns to the genre in which he made his best films: science fiction. The central question is: ‘If it were proven that we are not alone, would you be afraid?’
What would you do if you came across evidence that we are not alone in the universe? Would you share that truth with the world, despite the potential consequences? And how would you react if you came face to face with extraterrestrial life – would you see them as a threat, or rather as an opportunity to rethink our place in the universe? In Disclosure Day, TV presenter Margaret and conspiracy theorist Daniel are confronted with precisely these questions when they uncover information that could change the world view of billions of people forever. What follows is a dangerous game of secrets, power and paranoia.
With classics such as E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial and Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, Steven Spielberg left an indelible mark on the science fiction genre. Who didn’t dream of an alien in their back garden after E.T.? In Disclosure Day, Spielberg’s lifelong fascination with extraterrestrial contact, human curiosity and existential wonder come together once again. In his signature style, he explores how people deal with the unknown when it suddenly becomes reality. The soundtrack by the legendary John Williams completes the experience in this compelling science fiction film full of mystery, first contact stories and classic Spielberg magic. (ek)
