The Brendan Fraser renaissance is still going strong, with his new war movie Pressure, which opens in theaters this weekend, ahead of the 82nd anniversary of D-Day.

Directed by Anthony Maras, Pressure was co-written by Maras and David Haig, based on Haig’s 2014 play of the same name. The film stars Fraser as General Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1944—nine years before he became a U.S. President—and Andrew Scott as Captain James Stagg, who are faced with an impossible choice in the 72 hours leading up to D-Day. Do they launch the largest, riskiest invasion in history? Or do they play it say and risk losing World War II?

This harrowing film is based on the true story of D-Day, aka the day when the WWII Allied forces stormed the beach at Normandy on June 6, 1944, which resulted in thousands of lives lost, but eventually led to the Allied victory in the war. The Pressure cast also includes Kerry Condon, Chris Messina, and Damian Lewis. If you’re a WWII history buff, you don’t want to miss out, and you probably want to see it on the big screen. But if you’d rather wait to watch the movie at home, then read on to find out when and where the Pressure movie will be streaming.

Where to watch the Pressure 2026 movie:

The Pressure movie is only be available to watch in a movie theater right now. The film will open wide in U.S. theaters on Friday, May 29. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Pressure is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.

Is the Pressure movie streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video?

Pressure is not streaming on Netflix and likely will not be on Netflix any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Focus Features release in the U.S. Focus Features is a subsidiary of Universal Studios, and almost all Universal movies go to the Universal-owned streaming platform, Peacock.

You will be able to purchase Pressure on Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital. You will eventually be able to stream Pressure on Prime Video, free with a Prime subscription, four months after the movie streams on Peacock. This is thanks to the deal between Universal and Amazon that sends Universal movies to Peacock for the first four months of the “Pay 1 window,” then to Amazon Prime Video for the next months of the window, followed by four more months on Peacock. If our prediction for when Pressure will be on Peacock is correct, then you should see Pressure streaming on Prime around late December 2026 or early January 2027.

But the first place you’ll be able watch Pressure movie at home will be to buy or rent on digital platforms, followed by a streaming release on Peacock.

Peacock currently offers two subscription types: Premium with ads and Premium Plus ad-free. Peacock Premium costs $10.99/month, while Premium Plus costs $16.99/month.

You can save a bit by subscribing to one of Peacock’s annual plans, which give you 12 months for the price of 10. These cost either $109.99 with ads or $169.99 without ads.

Peacock Premium Plus is also available to subscribe to via Prime Video with a seven-day free trial that you can’t get by subscribing directly on Peacock.

When will the Pressure movie be streaming on Peacock?

You might see Pressure streaming on Peacock around late February 2026.

Pressure is not yet streaming on Peacock. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Pressure streaming on Peacock eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another Focus Features release, Song Sung Blue, was released on digital after about one month in theaters, and began streaming on Peacock about two months after opening in theaters.

If Pressure follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital by late June 2026, and streaming on Peacock around late July 2026. That said, other Focus Feature films have taken three months to stream on Peacock, so you may have to wait until late August.

This is all speculation. Universal has not had a consistent release strategy for home media. If you want to watch the Pressure movie right away, you can catch the movie in theaters.
