Pressure (12A)

Create Studios is screening Pressure on Wednesday 11 November, a WWII drama that focuses on the tension before the D-Day landings. It's a 12A, so it's fine for a younger crowd as long as they're over 12.

The film follows the Allied forces as they face one of the biggest calls of the war. General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg are the two at the centre of it, weighing up whether to launch the D-Day invasion or risk losing the war entirely. Oscar winner Brendan Fraser and multi-award winner Andrew Scott play them, and the whole thing is built around that fraught atmosphere in the days before the landings. If you've got any interest in the Second World War, this is the part of the story that usually gets the most attention—the high-stakes decision-making that happened behind the scenes before the troops ever hit the beaches.

The screening is part of Stories of Home, a BFI and National Lottery-funded project run by Create Studios. The idea behind it is to bring accessible cinema to communities across Swindon, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, so this isn't a one-off—it's part of a wider programme they're running across the region.

It's on at Create Studios Digital Media C.I.C, 10 Carriage Works, London Street, Railway Village, Swindon SN1 5FB, Wiltshire. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the film starts at 7:00 pm. Tickets start at £6—£6 for under 25s and £9 for over 25s—and a carer ticket is available on request.
