Zero Days is a 2016 American documentary film directed by Alex Gibney.[1] It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.[2][3]
Synopsis
Although the entire subject is still shrouded in secrecy, the film attempts to tell the story of the development, deployment, discovery, and investigation of the Stuxnet computer virus and the malware software known as "Olympic Games" in as much detail, and as accurately, as possible. It concludes with a discussion of the follow-up cyber plan "Nitro Zeus", and the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal.

Reception
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 90% of 73 critics' reviews of the film are positive, with an average rating of 7.3/10; the site's "critics consensus" reads: "Factors beyond Gibney's control prevent Zero Days from offering a comprehensive look at its subject, but the partial picture that emerges remains as frightening as it is impossible to ignore."[5] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 77 out of 100 based on reviews from 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[6]
Writing for RogerEbert.com, Godfrey Cheshire praised the film as "Easily the most important film anyone has released this year, it is a documentary that deserves to be seen by every sentient citizen of this country—and indeed the world."[7]
Accolades
Zero Days was among the 15 films shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature at the 89th Academy Awards,[8][9] but it was not chosen as one of the final five nominees in the category. It was nominated for Best Documentary Screenplay at the 69th Writers Guild of America Awards.[10] The film won a Peabody Award in 2017.[11]
