Disclosure Day

As the planet is on the brink of a nuclear war, cybersecurity specialist Dr. Daniel Kellner has stolen material from his employer, a secretive U.S. government contractor known as the Wardex Corporation (Waived Reporting, Development, and Extraction). Daniel's theft includes an artifact of extraterrestrial technology and "The Archive": decades of documents and hard drives containing footage of extraterrestrial encounters dating to the Roswell incident. When cornered by Wardex CEO Noah Scanlon, Daniel threatens him with the extraterrestrial device and escapes with his girlfriend, Jane Blankenship; they hide at her former convent.

In Kansas City, NBC meteorologist Margaret Fairchild is preparing for work when a cardinal flies into her home. The incident stimulates a psychic ability in Margaret to intuit people's thoughts and speak 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. After being examined at a hospital, Margaret flees Wardex agents who are posing as the FBI.

Daniel explains to Jane that Wardex has been experimenting on extraterrestrial captives and reverse engineering their technology; he is part of a plot to reveal the truth using the Archive. Seeing the clip of Margaret speaking the extraterrestrial language, he understands what she said as if she was speaking English. Scanlon uses one of the extraterrestrial devices to telepathically force Jane to attack Daniel and later track them to a motel. Before Daniel is captured, he helps Jane escape with the extraterrestrial device.

Margaret's psychic ability allows her to locate Daniel at a black site. The two escape with the Archive when Margaret empathically convinces their captors to let them go. One of Scanlon's unaffected men, Boyd, 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 escape.

Margaret and Daniel finally connect with Hugo Wakefield, who leads a team of former Wardex employees intent on disclosing evidence of extraterrestrials to the world. They have reconstructed Margaret's childhood home in order to recover suppressed memories. When they were ten, she and Daniel were simultaneously abducted by extraterrestrials and given complementary powers; the extraterrestrials disguise themselves as harmless animals in order to anonymously observe humanity and eventually awaken their powers.

Hugo's team, along with Margaret and Daniel, enter Margaret's television station to broadcast the truth. Scanlon's team turns off the power, but Jane arrives and gives her device to Margaret, who uses it to restore the power. Defeated, Scanlon and his team stand down, to Boyd's dismay, and watch as Margaret announces "Disclosure Day" to the world.

Daniel uploads the Archive to a satellite feed as the station crew broadcast the footage around the world, with a blindsided national anchorwoman attempting to narrate it. The stunned world stops to watch evidence of extraterrestrial life and the impending war seems to halt. Hugo brings an elderly extraterrestrial he secretly freed from Wardex into the studio. The extraterrestrial whispers to Daniel, who relays the message to Margaret. She returns to the camera and prepares to repeat the message, beginning by saying "Listen."
