Film Pressure is showing at Theater and Filmhuis Dakota. The British feature film by director Anthony Maras runs 100 minutes and follows the man whose weather forecast shaped the outcome of D-Day.

On 5 June 1944, the fate of the D-Day invasion rests on one man: British meteorologist Captain James Stagg. In Pressure, played by Andrew Scott, he persuades Allied Supreme Commander General Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) to adjust their plans at the last minute based on his weather analysis. A single miscalculation could have meant the loss of the entire war. The film shows the immense pressure placed on one scientist at the centre of a military decision that changed history.
