Directed by Anthony Maras, Pressure is a new drama/history/thriller set during the tense 72 hours before D-Day, history’s largest seaborne invasion, marking the start of Western Europe’s liberation from Nazi control.
Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Andrew Scott, Damian Lewis and Chris Messina are among the key cast.
When you don’t want to watch a war movie, but the acting power involved is so strong, you may just have to. That’s where I am right now.
Admittedly, part of what’s swaying me to see this is how much I loved Andrew Scott’s small role but mighty performance in Sam Mendes’s 1917 (2019). His part in Pressure is far from small, and that’s what’s so exciting about it; he has more screen time to delight and move us with his performance.
What is your appetite like for this particular war movie?
Henry Ashton, Con O’Neill, Tamsin Topolski, Daniel Quinn Toye, Wil Coban, Michael Benz, Harrison Osterfield, Richard Clothier, Joshua Hill, Charles Camrose and Patrick Flannery also star.
Pressure Release Dates: May 29th, 2026 (US), September 9th, 2026 (US)…

I like the look of this. I think the tensions will play out well.
Exactly that. I’m ready for the satisfying, dramatic ride this is likely to be.
One of the youtube comments said, “Lovely, a movie about the British weather”😭☔️
😂! I don’t know I bout you, EF, but I find the British weather utterly fascinating! You should have witnessed the gale-force winds of the last few days. In London, too! Not just the open lands of the countryside, where such uncivilised happenings usually occur. 👀👀
this sounds good, lots of suspense
Yes, Beth! and super exhilarating dramatics! 🤓🥂
Andrew Scott could sell this to me!
I see that. Especially since he sold it to me right away. 🤓
Very good interesting. I had never knowledge of the preparations and the background. It’s always fascinating to get a peak behind the scenes of any key historical moment.
Apologies for the strange sounding autocorrected sentences. 😅
I figured you were tired. 😁 It happens to me when sleep deprivation takes over. ☺️
I was also clueless. With such a powerhouse filmmaking team, this should be a memorable experience. It makes me want to re-watch the brilliant The Imitation Game (2014).
