Screening of Anthony Maras's wartime drama about the meteorologist who helped decide the timing of D-Day, starring Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser and Kerry Condon.
Pressure opens at The Odyssey Cinema on Thursday 5 November, with the first screening at 12:30. It's a biographical wartime drama directed by Anthony Maras, and it runs for 100 minutes with a 12A rating. The cast is a big one: Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina.
The story focuses on the 72 hours leading up to D-Day. On 2 June 1944, meteorologist Captain James Stagg is summoned by General Dwight D. Eisenhower to provide a weather forecast for an Allied operation due to commence within 61 hours. The problem is that Stagg's analysis is less than favourable, and the film follows the true story of the impossible decision that followed. It's a small, tense window into a moment that changed the course of the war.
It's playing at The Odyssey, that independent single-screen Art Deco cinema on London Road. They run new releases alongside classics, event cinema and special screenings, and there are licensed bars on site. Audio description and closed-caption support are available too.
