Based on David Haig’s critically acclaimed 2014 play, Pressure tells the dramatic true story of professional rivalry and jeopardy behind the execution of the D-Day landings.

As the Allies prepare for their land invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe, General Dwight Eisenhower (Fraser) summons two meteorologists, RAF Captain Stagg (Scott) and US Colonel Krick (Messina), to forecast the weather conditions in the English Channel – information critical to the operational plans.

When they present dramatically different predictions, professional disagreement, private tensions, and stubborn pride threaten the mission with disaster.
