People in Longview, Wash., have been waiting for what feels like forever for something to go terribly wrong in one of the paper mills that line the Columbia River.

The new film Pressure is a lightly fictionalized version of the actual lead-up to the D-Day invasion of France by Allied troops during World War II, and the crucial role of meteorologists in deciding when that battle would happen.
