Official PRESSURE Synopsis from Focus: Focus Features’ PRESSURE is a historical thriller set in the 72 hours leading up to D-Day, following General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Fraser) and Captain James Stagg (Scott) as they face the divisive decision of launching the largest seaborne invasion in history. With the fate of their soldiers and the outcome of the war at stake, PRESSURE brings audiences behind the scenes of one of WWII’s most critical events. Captain Stagg must defend his push to reschedule the attack due to impending catastrophic weather, despite intense opposition from everyone around him.

TWO IMPORTANT NOTES: Since this interview was done via Zoom, in two different countries, there are some expected connection issues. Greig Fraser was nice enough to record solo audio on his end so that, in the event that the connection dropped, we could fill that audio in. Therefore, there will be times where you will hear his audio change slightly as I take his solo audio to cover the connection drop. It's only a few times during the episode but I wanted to point that out. You will also notice times where Greig's image freezes, slightly, while his audio is catching up. In those moments, you can still hear what Greig is saying. The second note is that when I spoke about the cinematographer of The Batman 2, I couldn't remember who had been announced. According to reports, Eric Messerschmidt will be the cinematographer on Matt Reeves' sequel.Episode 44 of "On Film...With Kevin McCarthy".
