Zero Day follows a former U.S. President, George Mullen (De Niro) as he is pulled back into the limelight to investigate a massive global cyber-attack. Plemons will portray Mullen’s former bodyguard who accompanies his return while Caplan plays Mullen’s daughter Alexandra, a congresswoman looking to carve out a legacy separate from her father’s.

Jesse Plemons is quickly becoming one of the most dependable actors in Hollywood. Following crucial roles in recent films like Jungle Cruise and Judas and the Black Messiah, Plemons will join De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. Meanwhile, Lizzy Caplan recently starred alongside Jesse Eisenberg in FX’s hit series Fleishman Is in Trouble. Up next, Caplan will star alongside C’mon C’mon star Woody Norman and The Boys‘ Anthony Starr in the horror film Cobweb.
