Disclosure Day

As the world stands poised on the brink of World War III, cybersecurity specialist Dr. Daniel Kellner steals from the Wardex Corporation, a secret arm of the U.S. government, a piece of extraterrestrial technology and related files, detailing various events of human–alien contact dating back to the Roswell incident. Wardex CEO Noah Scanlon discovers the theft and has Daniel branded a foreign spy, making him the target of federal authorities. Daniel goes into hiding at a convent with his girlfriend, Jane Blankenship.

In Kansas City, television meteorologist Margaret Fairchild is preparing for work when a cardinal flies into her home, briefly observes her, and then flies away. The incident awakens latent psychic abilities, allowing Margaret to intuitively understand the thoughts and emotions of others, and unconsciously communicate in languages she has never learned. During a live weather broadcast, Margaret unexpectedly begins speaking in an unknown language. Footage of the broadcast goes viral and draws the attention of Wardex, which identifies the language as extraterrestrial in origin. After being hospitalized and nearly captured by Scanlon's agents, Margaret also goes into hiding.

Daniel reveals the stolen files to Jane, explaining that Wardex has been experimenting on alien captives and reverse engineering their technology, and states his intention to make the information public. Daniel learns of Margaret and discovers that he is the only one who can understand the alien language she spoke in the broadcast. Through an alien device that grants him telepathic capabilities, Scanlon forms a psychic bond with Jane and uses it first to make her attempt to kill Daniel, and then to track them to a hotel. Jane escapes with another alien device, also stolen by Daniel, but Daniel is captured. Meanwhile, as her abilities develop, Margaret receives visions of Daniel and follows them to a black site where he is being held. They escape when Margaret learns how to use her abilities to empathetically influence their pursuers into standing down. One of Scanlon's unaffected men, Casper Boyd, intentionally rams their car into the side of a passing freight train. Daniel pulls Margaret out in time for them to climb onto the train and make their way to safety.

Margaret and Daniel are rescued by a team of Wardex employees who have become whistleblowers. Their leader, Hugo Wakefield, who has been working with Daniel, shelters them in a warehouse containing a reconstruction of Margaret's childhood home and encourages her to recover suppressed memories connected to the extraterrestrial phenomenon. Inside, Margaret remembers that she and Daniel were abducted by extraterrestrials as children and subjected to experiments that gave them their powers. She also learns that the unusual animals that have appeared throughout their lives are extraterrestrials, assuming harmless forms to observe them.

Margaret and Daniel, accompanied by the whistleblowers, return to the former's television studio to make a public broadcast they name "Disclosure Day". Scanlon and his team attempt to stop them, disabling the power grid and the station's backup generator, but Jane arrives and gives her device to Margaret, who uses it to restore the power. Defeated, Scanlon decides to watch instead of continuing to stop them; Boyd leaves in anger. The transmission reveals to the stunned world historical evidence of alien encounters and the ensuing government cover-ups. As the broadcast reaches a global audience, halting the imminent war, the whistleblowers reveal one of the extraterrestrials, whom they freed. The alien privately communicates a message to Daniel, who relays it to Margaret. With the world watching, Margaret prepares to deliver the message, saying, "Listen."
