"Three thousand four hundred two people died on Zero Day." These words hit like a punch to the heart in the first teaser for Netflix’s new mini-series, "Zero Day," starring the legendary Robert De Niro in the lead role.

In the series, De Niro plays George Mullen, a respected former U.S. president who is called out of retirement to investigate an unprecedented cyberattack that has shaken the entire country. From the first frames, the trailer immerses us in an atmosphere of tension. Mullen recalls the events of Zero Day: mass plane crashes, train derailments, and total chaos that claimed thousands of lives.

As head of the Zero Day special commission, Mullen’s task is not only to find the culprits but also to untangle the web of disinformation that fuels fear, obscuring the truth. His mission becomes more complicated when the ambitions of major players—ranging from Wall Street to tech giants and government officials—interfere with the investigation.

"Zero Day" is not just a thriller but a haunting warning about how the vulnerabilities of the digital world could destroy the reality we know. It’s a story about one man trying to uncover the truth in a world where personal interests and societal illusions replace it.

One character’s words (Angela Bassett) add extra intrigue: "People believe what they need to believe. The truth remains the truth, but it’s not always the most important thing."

If you love intense political thrillers set against global threats, "Zero Day" promises to be a must-watch series. Not only is it gripping, but it also offers a deep look at the issues of the modern world, where technology becomes a weapon and truth is a luxury.

Release date: February 20. Prepare for a powerful start to the year with one of Netflix’s most anticipated series.
