Robert De Niro stars as former president facing deadly cyber attack in Netflix’s Zero Day

Robert De Niro steps into the shoes of the president of the United States in Netflix’s newly released trailer for the upcoming series Zero Day.

The 81-year-old star plays a grizzled but softly spoken former president who has been tasked with tracking down the perpetrators of a devastating cyber attack.

The clock is ticking, though, as another attack is imminent. The trailer has a whiff of conspiracy about it; is there an enemy within?

De Niro stars alongside Jesse Plemons, Lizzy Caplan, Connie Britton, Joan Allen, and Angela Basset.

The show premieres February 20.
