The first trailer has been released for Pressure.
The film stars Andrew Scott (Fleabag, All of Us Strangers) and Damian Lewis (Homeland, Billions) in leading roles.
Scott portrays James Stagg, a meteorologist working for the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. The story focuses on the critical 72 hours leading up to the D-Day landings in Normandy in 1944.
As two massive storms approach, Stagg attempts to warn his superiors that proceeding under the wrong weather conditions could spell disaster. A single miscalculation could alter the course of the war. Based on a true story, the film centres on the weather forecast that played a decisive role in determining the fate of millions and the outcome of the war.
The supporting cast includes Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin, Better Call Saul) and Brendan Fraser (The Whale, The Mummy), with Fraser portraying US President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The screenplay is written by Anthony Maras and David Haig, with Maras also directing the film.
Pressure is set for release in the US on May 29 and in the UK on September 9.
