With the summer 2026 blockbuster season hotting up, it stands to reason that celebrated director Steven Spielberg would throw his hand into proceedings with a new movie. And that new film is highly anticipated sci-fi picture, Disclosure Day.
The movie – which is written by David Koepp – is being described by Universal Pictures as a “new original event film”. The picture stars Josh O’Connor, Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo, and promises to reveal the truth about the existence of alien lifeforms.
Teasing Disclosure Day, Universal said: “If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to eight billion people. We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.”
Based on the creative team involved, as well as the subject matter, when Disclosure Day arrives in cinemas it is tipped to be one of the big releases of the summer. Analysts are predicting it will be a big earner, and a film which attracts the attention of audiences of all ages.
But when Disclosure Day lands in cinemas, will it be suitable for all? Can a family go and watch Disclosure Day in theatres?
Let’s take a look at the rating.

Disclosure Day UK age rating
In the UK, Disclosure Day has been awarded a ‘12A’ certificate by the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). The film has received this rating for “moderate threat, violence, injury detail, (and) infrequent strong language.”
Providing some further background on the level of violence, the BBFC said: “People fire guns at others during action sequences. Characters fight in a wrestling ring, delivering punches and blows with objects such as chairs. Some discreet verbal references are made to domestic abuse. A sequence features implied off-screen torture.”
In the UK, if a movie is given a ‘12A’ certificate it means the film is deemed most suitable for audiences aged 12 or over. However, anyone under the age of 12 can view a ‘12A’ in UK cinemas, as long as they are accompanied by a parent or adult guardian.
So, if you wish to watch Disclosure Day in a UK cinema along with your family, then you can. Just keep in mind, the BBFC rating and consider whether the youngest members of the family will be fine with a movie aimed at audiences aged 12 and above.
To help you decide, recent fantasy movie, Masters of the Universe is rated ’12A’ in the UK, and many of the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies are also rated ’12A’. So if your family are fine with The Avengers films, then they may be OK with Disclosure Day.

Disclosure Day US age rating
In the US, Disclosure Day has been rated ‘PG-13’ by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPA). Disclosure Day has received this rating for action/violence, some bloody images and strong language.
In the US, if a movie is rated ‘PG-13’ it means it may contain material which is deemed inappropriate for children under the age of 13. Parents are therefore urged to be cautious before showing a ‘PG-13’ to pre-teen audiences.
Now that said, any one of any age can watch a ‘PG-13’ movie in a US cinema. The rating is there as guidance only.
So, if you’re family have their heart set on watching Disclosure Day in a US cinema, you just need to decide if the film will be fine for your youngest. As a guide, most Spider-Man movies are rated ‘PG-13’ in the US, so if the youngest member of your family is fine with something like the Spidey movies they should be fine with Disclosure Day.
