Pressure tells the remarkable untold story behind one of the most important decisions of the Second World War. In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, Britain’s chief meteorological officer, Captain James Stagg (Scott), must convince Allied commanders, including General Eisenhower (Fraser), whether the weather will allow the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history to proceed. With the fate of millions hanging in the balance, this is a fascinating look at the people, decisions and the uncertainty that helped shape the course of history. Gripping, intelligent and led by a stellar cast.
