For Steven Spielberg stories about unnatural phenomena isn't a new theme in his story. From Close Encounters of the Third Kind to War of the Worlds, the director has used the intriguingly different to talk about basic human themes. With his upcoming film Disclosure Day, which opens in theatres on June 12, the director reveals that he has created a 20-minute finale as a unifying epiphany for the audiences.

"This story needed to have a couple of jet engines strapped onto it and that it needed to take the audience on a ride that would blow their hair back," said Spielberg, who went on to say, "I wanted that to begin from the very first frame and conclude in a 20-minute finale that would bring everyone to a united epiphany about what has been happening in the world, what has been kept from us and what we now know.”

Disclosure Day follows the story of a Kansas City meteorologist (Emily Blunt) and a young whistleblower (Josh O'Connor) who uncover proof of extraterrestrial contact, forcing them to choose between revealing the truth to the world or keeping it hidden forever. The film explores humanity’s reaction to the unknown on an epic scale.

Talking about the film’s central conflict, Colman Domingo, who plays Hugo Wakefield, shared, “The movie hinges on the idea that a profound truth has been kept secret from the world, and the conflict of the movie is rooted in a disagreement over what we risk if this truth was made known.” He adds, “Complicating the debate is the fact that it has been kept secret for a very long time, and in that time, people have become even more invested in keeping that truth a secret because they are too invested in the lives and world they have built."
