Spielberg's Disclosure Day Streams on Peacock in the U.S. as Walmart+ Offers $1 Trial

Steven Spielberg's sci-fi espionage film Disclosure Day is now streaming on Peacock in the U.S. as of October 8. A $1 Walmart+ trial can include Peacock, while viewers in the UK, Canada, and Australia must rent or buy the film; TechRadar recommends a VPN for U.S. subscribers traveling abroad.

The film stars Emily Blunt as Margaret Fairchild, a weather reporter who experiences an extraterrestrial awakening and discovers a special connection with alien visitors, and Josh O'Connor as Dr. Daniel Kellner, a cybersecurity whistleblower ready to expose government secrets about alien life. Colman Domingo, Colin Firth, Wyatt Russell, Eve Hewson, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, and Elizabeth Marvel also appear. TechRadar described the movie as an action-packed thriller that examines humanity's place in the universe, with parallels to Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T., and War of the Worlds. The premise asks what would happen if the world learned aliens were real, the report said, and the story involves chaos, confusion, and government cover-ups.

In the U.S., Peacock's Premium plan costs $12.99 per month or $129.99 per year and includes ads, NBC and Bravo shows, movies, Peacock Originals, live sports, and events. Premium Plus costs $19.99 per month or $199.99 per year, offers limited ads, and allows downloads. Walmart+ is offering a 30-day trial for $1 that includes a choice of a subscription to either Paramount+ or Peacock; viewers who want Disclosure Day must choose Peacock, according to TechRadar.

At present, only viewers in the U.S. can access a streaming service that includes Disclosure Day as part of its subscription package, TechRadar reported. In the UK, Canada, and Australia, viewers need to rent or purchase the film. U.S. viewers traveling abroad can use a VPN to change their location and access Peacock, according to TechRadar, which recommends NordVPN as its top choice and says the software changes the user's IP address so on-demand content or live TV can be accessed as if the viewer were at home.
