De Niro stars as former U.S. President George Mullen who is called upon to track down the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack. 

These days, it seems no one is immune to the lure of the streamers. Netflix turned Keira Knightly into a festive spy, and coaxed Cameron Diaz from her self-imposed exile for Back in Action.

Now, they’ve dropped a trailer for the thriller series Zero Hour, starring Robert De Niro.

Of course, the great man has enjoyed a varied career – from weighty fare such as Raging Bull and Taxi Driver, to comedic roles in Meet the Parents and Analyse This.

And who can forget his turn as the villain in The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.

In Zero Day, he takes on the role of a former U.S. President in a timely thriller about a cyber attack. We’re guessing this one won’t be the result of a failed anti-virus patch!

Here’s the synopsis for Zero Day

Netflix’s Zero Day is a limited thriller series starring Robert De Niro as respected former U.S. President George Mullen, who, as head of the Zero Day Commission, is charged with finding the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack that has caused chaos around the country and many fatalities. As disinformation runs rampant and the personal ambition of power brokers in technology, Wall Street, and government collide, Mullen’s unwavering search for the truth forces him to confront his own dark secrets while risking all he holds dear.

The show also stars Angela Bassett, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemons, Joan Allen, Connie Britton, Matthew Modine, Dan Stevens, Bill Camp, Gaby Hoffmann and Clark Gregg.

The series comes from creators and writers Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim, who serve as showrunners. Michael S. Schmid and Roberto Patino also pen episodes, with the series directed by Lesli Linka Glatter (Mad Men, Homeland).

Zero Day lands on February 20th, 2025 and you can watch the opening scene on Tudum.
