PRESSURE (2026)
Starring Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon and Damian Lewis
In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, the fate of the free world hinges on an impossible choice for Supreme Allied Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Fraser): launch the largest seaborne invasion in history, or risk losing the war. The operation's success or failure depends entirely on whether the English Channel will have favorable weather to be determined by British Group Captain and meteorologist James Stagg (Scott).
Critics say:
Pressure serves as a reminder of the many stories and individuals whose expertise and fortitude created the world we enjoy today. It also gives voice to the slim margins by which the war was decided. Perhaps the greatest act of service Pressure lends audiences, though, is the reflection of what all the sacrifices, violence and destruction was for.
- Rachel Ho, The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
For a movie about the weather, Pressure is pretty exciting. And the cast, which includes Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon and Andrew Scott, is excellent.
- Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
War movie fans and WWII buffs should appreciate the film’s devotion to detail, while mainstream audiences will be treated to a taut, compelling story about the very real men behind the icons who ensured an Allied victory. Brendan Fraser makes Eisenhower flesh and blood, while Andrew Scott adds another whipsmart protagonist to his filmography with his nuanced portrayal of meteorologist James Stagg.
- Jim Vejvoda, IGN
Featuring an award-worthy performance by Andrew Scott in the lead role and solid supporting turns by Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon and Chris Messina, Pressure lives up to its title with its expert ratcheting up of sustained tension.
