Steven Spielberg has been trying to convince the world of alien existence for over 40 years. His new film, ‘Disclosure Day’, is a breathless sci-fi thriller about the day the world learns that a government entity has had decades-long contact with extraterrestrial beings.

Spielberg’s Career-Long Fascination with Aliens

Spielberg’s fascination with aliens began with his 1977 film ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’, which won the Oscar for best cinematography and earned over $300 million globally at the box office. He has since made several other films that touch on the topic of alien life, including ‘E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial’ and ‘War of the Worlds’.

In ‘Disclosure Day’, Spielberg explores the idea of what would happen if the world were to discover that aliens are real. The film follows a group of whistleblowers who try to expose the truth about the government’s contact with extraterrestrial beings.

A Modern Presentation of Classic Spielberg Ideas

‘Disclosure Day’ showcases a modern presentation of classic Spielberg ideas: we’re not alone, and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. The film asks us to embrace the idea of other intelligent life and imagine how we’d react to it, prompting us to do so with empathy.

Spielberg’s film is set to bring in over $90 million globally in its opening weekend, and it has already sparked a lot of interest and discussion about the possibility of alien life. With ‘Disclosure Day’, Spielberg continues to explore the idea that we are not alone in the universe, and that the possibility of encountering life from another planet could be a positive experience.
