Summary

Steven Spielberg's upcoming film "Disclosure Day" (releasing June 11 via Universal Pictures) serves as a spiritual bookend to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," nearly 50 years later.

The article captures Spielberg's personal reflections, including a nostalgic moment about Froot Loops that echoes his classic filmmaking style.
