LOS ANGELES, June 9 (UPI) -- Boy, it's nice to see a new Steven Spielberg summer blockbuster in 2026. Disclosure Day, in theaters Friday, is every bit the event Jaws, E.T. and Jurassic Park were, and a reminder that skillful storytelling makes for the most exciting movies.
The film begins with Daniel Kellner (Josh O'Connor) caught by Wardex agents. He rescues Jane (Eve Hewson) from Wardex and escapes by threatening to use the alien device Wardex aimed to recover.
Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) is a weatherwoman at a Kansas City, Mo., news station. On her way into work one day, she begins speaking foreign languages and psychically knows the personal troubles of strangers, leading her to speak an alien language on air.
Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp give enough information to interest the viewer, then earn our trust to find out more throughout the story. Daniel and Jane even discover new things about each other while on the run together.
