A new limited series 'Zero Day' coming to Netflix features Robert De Niro reimagining the PATRIOT Act in the wake of a devastating cyber attack on the United States.
3,402 people died on Zero Day , Robert De Niro ’s voiceover tells us at the beginning of the teaser for a new limited series coming to Netflix .

But it’s what comes after that’s the most allusive to the biggest terrorist attack in America: Robert De Niro is about to reinvent the PATRIOT Act.
The series appears to be about a cyber attack on the United States—one bad enough to cause plane crashes and train derailments—and the lengths governmental powers will go to give people (the illusion of) safety.

(He did do a Bernie Madoff TV movie for HBO in 2017, and appeared in Argentine dramalast year—perhaps this is just his first leading, full-time role.) “Right now, our actual world is scarier,” he told, which does sound like exactly the kind of thing he would say. But the series creators emphasize the input he had on the show, with Newman calling him a “partner” in the process. The rest of the cast is pretty stacked, too: Angela Bassett, Connie Britton, Lizzy Caplan, Jesse Plemmons, and Matthew Modine round out the ensemble
