Meanwhile, Operation Overlord was depicted from the perspective of the parachute regiments in the incredible miniseries Band of Brothers.

Now a new film called Pressure, based on the West End play of the same name, is coming to cinemas this September and you can check out the latest thrilling trailer above.

In the upcoming World War 2 epic, Oscar-winner Brendan Fraser stars as Supreme Allied Commander and future US President Dwight D Eisenhower.

Joining him in the cast are Andrew Scott as Britain’s chief meteorological officer, James Stagg, and Kerry Condon as Eisenhower’s trusted aide, Captain Kay Summersby.

Meanwhile, Chris Messina plays US Meteorologist Irving P Krick and Band of Brothers star Damian Lewis portrays Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery aka Monty. The film’s official synopsis reads: “In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, PRESSURE follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) as they face an impossible choice — launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.”

Pressure lands in UK cinemas on September 9.
