Detailing the tense 72 hours before D-Day, PRESSURE is a powerfully performed exploration of the weather’s involvement in the most dangerous seaborne invasion in history, incredibly led by Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser (Rental Family) and Andrew Scott (All of Us Strangers).
In the lead up to D-Day, General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Fraser) employs chief meteorologist Captain James Stagg (Scott) to help advise him on the weather conditions in order to help determine whether they can launch their invasion. Forced to navigate military egos, impossible uncertainty, and the lives of thousands, Captain Stagg is given just three days to predict the forecast for one of the most pivotal days of the war.
Also starring Oscar-nominee Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin), Damian Lewis, and Chris Messina, PRESSURE is a tense historical thriller about weather, warfare, and the burden of responsibility.

--=>+ Tickets +<=--
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.
--=>+ Afterwards+<=--
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.
If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.
