Steven Spielberg Makes New Movie About Aliens and Government Secrets

June 9, 2026 · Rolling Stone

Famous director creates action film about people trying to reveal the truth about UFOs.

Steven Spielberg has been making movies about aliens for many years. His most famous alien movie is probably 'E.T.' about a friendly creature from space. He also made 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' and 'War of the Worlds.' Now he has created a new film called 'Disclosure Day' that combines aliens with government secrets.

The new movie follows Daniel Kellner, a man who used to work for a secret company. This company's job was to hide information about UFOs from the public. Daniel decides he wants to tell everyone the truth about aliens. He has proof that a UFO really did crash in Roswell, New Mexico many years ago. Now dangerous people are chasing him to get the proof back.

Another main character is Margaret Fairchild, who works as a weather reporter on TV. Something very strange happens to her when a bird flies into her apartment. After this event, she develops amazing powers like speaking any language and reading minds. She also starts receiving secret information in her head. These new abilities connect her to the alien mystery that Daniel is trying to solve.

The movie is full of action scenes with car chases and special effects. Spielberg made it look like the big summer movies from the 1990s. But the film also has a serious message about the importance of truth. It suggests that governments and companies sometimes lie to people about important things. The director wants viewers to think about whether they can trust what authorities tell them.

Spielberg does believe that we are not the only game running in the cosmos.
