"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe plays an undercover FBI agent in the trailer of "Imperium" who infiltrates a group of neo-Nazis.

The 26-year-old star plays a young and idealistic FBI agent named Nate Foster who infiltrates a white supremacist group in order to foil a radical right-wing terrorist group's attempt to make a dirty bomb, reported Aceshowbiz.

In the trailer, Foster is recruited by a senior agent named Angela Zampino (Toni Collette) and asked to go undercover as a neo-Nazi group's follower.

In several scenes Foster is seen willing to shave his head, get a tattoo on his body and spend all his time with the white supremacist group.
 

The film is directed by Daniel Ragussis, inspired by a true story of Michael German, a former agent who spent years inside the neo-Nazi movement.

"Imperium" also stars Tracy Letts, Nestor Carbonell, Burn Gorman, Set Numrich and Sam Trammell. The film will release in US theaters on August 19.
