AMERICAN sci-fi film Disclosure Day is out now in theatres.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, the movie centres on the highly anticipated moment humanity makes first contact with extraterrestrial life.
It follows cybersecurity administrator Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor), who admits to stealing secrets about non-humans that he was hired to hide from the world. 
When meteorologist Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) starts speaking in clicks on live television, Daniel claims that he can understand what she’s communicating, implying that he wants to provide full disclosure to the whole world.
This is Steven’s fourth production tackling alien life and extraterrestrials since War of the Worlds (2005), with his first one being the 1982 family film ET the Extra-Terrestrial, about a troubled child who summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape from Earth and return to his home planet.
In an interview, the director revealed his approach towards the new film is different from his previous ones, as it is built from a conviction that feels different from the speculative nature behind some of his earlier alien stories.
“I’ve been a believer since I made Close Encounters of the Third Kind 50 years ago,” he said in an interview, referencing his 1977 film.
“But I would always say: Until I’ve seen a UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) or a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) with my own eyes, I’m not going to categorically state that life from out there has come here. 
“But I’ve changed that. I’m now willing to change my mind because of the circumstantial evidence, which is overwhelming,” he added.
Playing Hugo Wakefield, an advocate for disclosure, actor Colman Domingo teased a deeper meaning behind the movie’s sci-fi elements.
“I can tell you with my entire heart that it is one of the most hopeful films that anyone can see right now. Essentially, it’s about Steven’s heart and his belief of what we could be if we invite the unknown in,” he added.
