Parent & Baby Screening: Pressure

This is a Parent and Baby Screening. See the latest films in a safe and non-judgmental environment, with reduced volume and increased lighting. Andrew Scott and Brendan Fraser lead Pressure, the untold true story of the 72 hours that decided D-Day. With the largest seaborne invasion in history poised to launch, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg face an impossible choice: send the fleet into a forecast that could sink the entire operation, or delay and risk losing the element of surprise altogether. Scott's coiled intensity as Stagg and Fraser's quietly commanding Eisenhower turn a war room into a pressure cooker wringing genuine suspense.
