Brendan Fraser And Andrew Scott Face Weather Worries For D-Day Launch In ‘Pressure’ Trailer

Focus Features’ film dramatizes the critical 72 hours before D-Day, focusing on the weather forecast that decided the invasion’s fate, releasing May 29.

  • Focus Features released the first trailer for Pressure, starring Brendan Fraser as General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Andrew Scott as Captain James Stagg with a U.S. release on Friday, May 29.
  • Directed by Anthony Maras and co-written with David Haig, Pressure adapts Haig’s 2014 Edinburgh Fringe stage play and unfolds over the 72 hours before D-Day.
  • The trailer toggles between war-room scenes and sweeping storm footage as Stagg’s forecast warns two aggressive storms are approaching, treating cloud analysis as life-or-death science.
  • The fate of thousands of Allied troops depends on weather and timing, as General Dwight D. Eisenhower must decide to proceed or delay Operation Overlord’s 300,000-men invasion at Normandy beaches.
  • Fraser and an ensemble position Pressure as a prestige acting showcase, comparing it to Das Boot and Dunkirk while centering meteorology as the film’s dramatic engine.
