Day Zero is a film that follows the lives of three friends who are given 30 days to report for duty, after the U.S. reinstates the military draft to fight global terrorism.

Three friends at different phases in their lives are brought together by the reinstating of the draft. The film takes a look at how the main characters in the film deal with being forced to serve their country with honor. Starring Elijah Wood, Chris Klein and Jon Bernthal, the film takes place in New York City.

"As the pals, Elijah Wood, Jon Bernthal, and especially Chris Klein mope around noncommittally, as if it were an upcoming trip to the in-laws' they were dreading -- not a potentially one-way ticket to a war zone." — Gregory Kirschling from Entertainment Weekly

"Proves that even the most controversial of topics can be the basis for the dullest indie films." — Kyle Smith from the New York post

  • "The film is so insular, so small and 'indie', that there's no rattling tension or charge in it."
