Captain James Stagg is a Scottish Met Office meteorologist attached to the Royal Air Force during World War II who is drafted into a special team led by future US President General Dwight Eisenhower, the man responsible for the plans behind the D-Day landings. Stagg must work alongside his colleagues in the US Air Force and Royal Navy to determine whether the weather conditions are going to be suitable for a mission in 72 hours, which Eisenhower and co desperately want to hear is true. Despite pushbacks from his contemporaries who use more traditional methods to track weather patterns – using data and conditions from previous years to try and predict the next few days – Stagg goes against the grain and warns his superiors that a storm is likely, forcing them to contemplate delaying the mission. ‘Pressure’ is a tense drama focusing on an aspect of the war rarely explored on screen, as well as issues around conformity and how expertise changes over time.
