In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg face an impossible choice: launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.
With the impressive cast of Andrew Scott, Brendan Fraser, Kerry Condon and Damian Lewis, this a behind-the-scenes story is set in the last few days leading up to the allied invasion of Normandy in June 1944. Clear weather was fundamental to a potentially decisive turning point in the war, and Eisenhower was asking for certainty. The ships and planes would be unable to reach the shore if the waves were too high and visibility was too limited. Andrew Scott is magnetic in this tense thriller, which is less of a war pic and more of a satisfying chamber piece about how people use and communicate information when the stakes are sky high.
