Pressure Movie Debuts New Trailer and Poster
Focus Features has released the new trailer and poster for the Pressure movie, opening in theaters on May 29, 2026. The film has not yet been rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for war violence, bloody images, some strong language, and smoking.
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 and Captain James Stagg as they face an impossible choice—launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.
The film was directed by Anthony Maras (Hotel Mumbai), who co-wrote the script with Olivier award-winner David Haig, based on Haig’s critically lauded play, which enjoyed a hugely successful run in London’s West End before going on to be performed for Her Majesty The Queen and world leaders to mark the D-Day 75th anniversary in 2019.
Pressure features an all-star ensemble led by Andrew Scott as James Stagg, Brendan Fraser as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Kerry Condon as Kay Summersby, Chris Messina as Irving P. Krick, and Damian Lewis as Bernard Montgomery.
The film was produced by Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner, Cass Marks, and Lucas Webb. The executive producers include Anna Marsh, Ron Halpern, Joe Naftalin, Anthony Maras, Angela Moneke, and Sheeraz Shah.
STUDIOCANAL, which financed the title, developed the project with Working Title and Anthony Maras.
Focus holds domestic rights, with Universal Pictures International handling select international territories.
STUDIOCANAL is releasing theatrically in its territories of the UK, France, Germany, Benelux, Poland, Australia, and New Zealand. STUDIOCANAL handled worldwide sales.
