Johannesburg, 2 June 2026: For generations, humanity has wrestled with a single enduring question: are we alone in the universe? This June, acclaimed director Steven Spielberg returns to the big screen with DISCLOSURE DAY, an ambitious new film that explores the consequences of a world-changing revelation. The film opens in South African cinemas on Wednesday, 10 June 2026.

Shrouded in mystery and driven by an unsettling question - if someone proved to you that we weren’t alone, would that frighten you? DISCLOSURE DAY promises an edge-of-your-seat experience from one of cinema’s greatest storytellers. With the haunting promise that “the truth belongs to eight billion people,” Spielberg’s latest original film is one of the year’s most anticipated big-screen releases.

Spielberg Returns With an Original Big-Screen Event

Created and directed by Spielberg, DISCLOSURE DAY brings together an acclaimed cast led by SAG winner and Oscar nominee Emily Blunt, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Josh O’Connor, Academy Award winner Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and two-time Oscar nominee Colman Domingo.

The film’s chilling premise includes a global revelation that could change humanity forever. Equal parts mystery, spectacle and emotional drama, DISCLOSURE DAY marks Spielberg’s return to the kind of large-scale storytelling that has captivated audiences for decades.

A Powerhouse Creative Team Behind the Mystery

The screenplay comes from David Koepp, Spielberg’s longtime collaborator, whose previous work includes Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Together, these films have generated more than $3 billion at the global box office, cementing Koepp and Spielberg as one of Hollywood’s most formidable creative partnerships.

Produced by five-time Academy Award nominee Kristie Macosko Krieger alongside Spielberg for Amblin Entertainment, the film also features executive producers Adam Somner and Chris Brigham.

Few filmmakers have shaped modern cinema quite like Spielberg. The highest-grossing director of all time, he is responsible for iconic films including Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones franchise and Jurassic Park. A three-time Academy Award winner, Spielberg most recently released The Fabelmans in 2022, earning seven Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
