Is 'Disclosure Day' a secret 'Close Encounters' sequel?
Steven Spielberg has directed dozens of movies over his legendary Hollywood career. He only wrote five of those films — and two of them are his 1977 sci-fi blockbuster Close Encounters of the Third Kind and his 2026 sci-fi blockbuster Disclosure Day.
For roughly the first three decades of his career, Spielberg tended to take a fairly sanguine view of aliens, refusing to succumb to the disaster-movie framework of aliens attacking terrified Earthlings. That changed in a big way after 9/11, when Spielberg made a couple of Tom Cruise -starring sci-fi blockbusters grappling with a changed world.
