Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg as they face an impossible choice--launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.

Critics Consensus

Finding a fresh angle on one of the most dramatized days in military history, Pressure is a brainy war film that derives most of its thrills from Andrew Scott's simmering performance.

Audience Says

Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott are just as fierce as the storms in Pressure, an intense D-Day drama that sharply captures a pivotal, life-stakes moment in history.

With its businesslike score and wood-panelled rooms swimming with testosterone, it’s no massive departure from the established formula for wartime drama. But this is solidly watchable stuff, elevated by top-tier acting talent.

3/5

How do you make nerdy militarians talking, studying and map-reading in a time of crisis feel particularly cinematic? The answer is you keep it tight -- Pressure is, blessedly, a lean 100 minutes.

I highly recommend Pressure. It delivers with the force of a hurricane barreling down on you while you wait for permission to add this to your watchlist.

I think this movie is a Must see for so many reasons the setting, the cast, awesome cinematography, historically “a True Story”, and the perfectly appointed cast especially that of Chief Meteorologist Captain James Stagg, I think his character made the movie what it was historically relevant and emotionally powerful. I’ve seen it 6 times now and have been moved to tears for totally different reasons every time.
