Brendan Fraser plays Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Andrew Scott plays meteorologist James Stagg in the new film <em>Pressure</em>, about the tense lead-up to the D-Day invasion during World War II.

The new movie tells a story about how good meteorology can literally win wars. It also takes us back in time, to when the United States was at a disadvantage when it came to weather science.
