Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg returns to the world of UFOs and extraterrestrials with this action-packed sci-fi thriller. The story follows a cybersecurity expert (Josh O'Connor) who stumbles upon a massive global conspiracy and teams up with a meteorologist (Emily Blunt) to expose a government cover-up involving alien life. The film also stars Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, and Colman Domingo.

We discuss whether Spielberg still has his magic touch at nearly 80 years old, why the film's optimistic "Hollywood ending" feels a bit out of touch with modern cynicism, and whether humanity could actually handle the truth if a real-life disclosure day ever happened.
