Pressure12A

Directed by Anthony Maras | UK | 2026 | 1h 40m | Starring Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis, Chris Messina

In the 72 hours before D-Day, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg must decide whether to launch the largest seaborne invasion in history, or delay and risk losing the war. Every plan is in place except one: the weather, which neither man can control. Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott star in this thriller, which finds new tension in one of the most dramatised days in military history.

Reviews

‘Pressure is less of a traditional war flick than a satisfying chamber piece about how people use and communicate information when the stakes are sky high and groupthink is kicking in.’
★★★★
Philip De Semlyen, Time Out

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
