The war drama "Pressure" tells of the D-Day from the point of view of the Allied meteorologists. How strongly did the victory over Hitler Germany depend on the weather?
Anthony Maras draws on a play by David Haig to stage the eve of the Normandy Landings that precipitated the end of World War II. The story is articulated around the decisive presence of James Stagg, the Scottish meteorologist who convinced General Eisenhower to delay D-Day from June 5 to 6, 1944, thus avoiding a storm that could have radically changed the outcome of events.
"Pressure" tells from an unusual perspective about D-Day: A meteorologist is supposed to predict whether the weather allows the Allies to land in Normandy.
The D-Day is one of the most filmed events of World War II. "Pressure" with Andrew Scott takes a completely different perspective: that of the meteorologist who decided on success or failure of the invasion.
