The greatest assault ever assembled deploys in just seventy-two hours… if the weather holds. Any delay to the Normandy landings risks German intelligence catching wind of the plan, jeopardising the largest seaborne invasion in history. To keep the operation afloat, General Dwight D. Eisenhower assigns Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg to ensure the Allies avoid a storm and strike under the best conditions.

As the clock ticks toward D-Day, pressure mounts on Stagg as he battles Eisenhower’s nerves, a commander forced to trust one man’s forecast or face 
nature’s wrath.

BAFTA-winner Andrew Scott leads as the embattled meteorologist, locked in a clash of wits with Academy Award-winner Brendan Fraser,  
who continues his cinematic resurgence as the fiery American general.

Caught in the crossfire, Kerry Condon plays Eisenhower’s aide Kay Summersby, Chris Messina portrays rival American meteorologist Irving P. Krick, and Damian Lewis is the blunt British military leader Bernard Montgomery.

After a disastrous D-Day rehearsal, hundreds of thousands of soldiers’ lives – and the war itself – are on the line. The stakes have never been higher and the decision ultimately rests on the shoulders of one man in this intense race against time.
