The final trailer has been released for World War II film, Pressure, directed by Anthony Maras and starring Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser.
In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element – the British weather. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby (Kerry Condon) to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser).
The film’s cast is rounded out with Golden Globe and Emmy Award winner Damian Lewis (Billions, Homeland, Band Of Brothers) in the role of Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery and Chris Messina (Air, Sharp Objects) as Irving P. Krick, Eisenhower’s trusted wartime Meteorologist.
Developed and produced by STUDIOCANAL and Working Title, PRESSURE is co-written by Maras alongside Olivier award-winner David Haig who wrote the critically lauded play the film is based on.
Pressure releases in UK and Ireland cinemas on September 9.
