Synopsis
Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser star in the incredible true story of one meteorologist's mighty impact on D-Day. An edge-of-your-seat view of a world-changing event.
The much anticipated latest from acclaimed Australian director Anthony Maras (Hotel Mumbai, The Palace), Pressure follows the nail-biting 72 hours in the lead-up to D-Day. General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Fraser) employs chief meteorologist Captain James Stagg (Scott) to advise him on when to launch the largest seaborne invasion in history. With the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, Captain Stagg must cut through military egos, crushing uncertainty and terrifyingly high stakes to make an impossible call. A tense historical thriller about weather, warfare and the burden of responsibility, Pressure turns a pivotal moment in modern history into gripping, muscular cinema.

Reviews
Pressure is less of a traditional war flick than a satisfying chamber piece about how people use and communicate information when the stakes are sky high and groupthink is kicking in.
This historical drama feels marvellously urgent.
