Synopsis

Mere hours before D-Day, General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) meets with Royal Air Force meteorologist Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) to discuss weather conditions on the day of the attack. With Stagg warning that the looming storms could make the launch disastrous, Eisenhower must choose between this or potentially losing the war altogether.
