Pressure

Storyline: In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place
except for one key element--the British weather. Britain's chief meteorological
officer James Stagg (Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential
forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied
leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne
invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. With only
his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a
catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied
Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. With only hours to go, the fate of the war
and the lives of millions hang in the balance.

Cast: Brendon Fraser, Andrew Scott, Kerry Condon

You and Friends with Benefits, comes a fresh, funny, swoony original romantic comedy
about searching for love on the least romantic night of the year.
