PRESSURE is based on the acclaimed play, the true story of the 72 hours leading up to D-Day. The largest amphibious assault ever has been assembled and any delays risk German intelligence catching on. Britain's chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) must convince the entire Allied operations led by American General ‘Ike’ Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) to trust his unconventional methods and alter their deployment plans. The lives of millions and the fate of the war hangs in the balance of these few short days.
"This is a serious film in the best sense of the term, a thoughtful film about people facing the direst problems with honor, intelligence, and courage that goes beyond the physical to include fearlessness about pursuing the truth."
