Pressure tells the true, untold story of the tense 72-hour countdown to D-Day during World War II. General Dwight D. Eisenhower (played by Brendan Fraser) must decide whether to launch Operation Overlord—the massive seaborne Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France—or postpone it and risk losing the element of surprise.
Captain James Stagg (played by Andrew Scott), the Chief Meteorological Officer for the Allied forces, is tasked with delivering the weather forecast that will make or break the mission. Stagg tracks two dangerous storm systems advancing toward the Normandy coast, putting him at odds with other forecasters who predict milder conditions.
With thousands of lives, equipment coordination, and the outcome of World War II hanging on his calculations, Eisenhower has to weigh conflicting meteorological models before making history’s most critical call.
