Josh O’Connor stars as Daniel, a cyber-security boffin who works for a powerful organisation called Wardex. The organisation was set up to keep information about aliens secret – so, yes, on one level Disclosure Day is a rehash of Men in Black, except without the jokes. Daniel decides to reveal – or rather disclose – this information, but first he has to drive around for a while with his girlfriend Jane (Eve Hewson), waiting for the go-ahead from his associate, Hugo (Colman Domingo). Absurdly, Hugo insists that Daniel shouldn’t just put the information online. Instead, the videos he has stolen should be shared via… errr… a local television news channel. In Spielberg’s mind, it seems, the world hasn’t moved on since ET: The Extra Terrestrial came out.
