The story centers on two ordinary humans – weathercaster Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) and computer whiz Dr. Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) – who connect in a deep and meaningful way because they find themselves in a similar position at an extraordinary moment. Caught between a very popular corporate villain (Colin Firth) and a magnetic warrior-for-good (Colman Domingo), the pair become entangled in a web of intrigue regarding the existence of extraterrestrials. Should the powers-that-be conceal and exploit their knowledge of beings from space, or should they share it with humanity? With the usual Spielbergian cat-and-mouse chases involving cars, trains, and firetrucks, Disclosure Day careens toward its humanistic message over a series set pieces. But it’s fascinated less with the spectacle of giant flying vessels than with human dynamics that arise in rare moments. Instead, this is a film about our emotional possibilities as human beings, our ability to be astonished, and our potential to be bound together by something bigger than ourselves.
