Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott's gripping World War II drama Pressure has been a sleeper hit since its theatrical release, but fans will soon have to say goodbye to it on Peacock. The film, which has earned rave reviews and a dedicated following, is officially being pulled from the streaming service in December 2026. If you haven't seen it yet, now's the time to add it to your watchlist.
Directed by Anthony Maras, Pressure tells the true story of a British meteorologist who played a pivotal role in convincing General Dwight D. Eisenhower to delay the D-Day invasion by one day. The film stars Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower and Andrew Scott as the meteorologist, James Stagg. Their performances have been widely praised, with Scott's portrayal earning particular acclaim for its intensity and nuance.
The movie debuted in theaters in May and quickly became a favorite among audiences, grossing over $15 million domestically. It outperformed other WWII-themed releases, including the holdover hit Nuremberg and action films like Shelter and Runner. Its success on the big screen translated to strong streaming numbers, with Pressure spending more than 50 days on Prime Video's domestic chart and nearly 25 days on Peacock's chart this year, according to FlixPatrol.
Critics have been equally impressed, with the film holding a 90% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95% Verified Hot audience score. The site's consensus calls it "a brainy war film that derives most of its thrills from Andrew Scott's simmering performance." It's a fresh take on one of the most dramatized days in military history, offering a tense, character-driven perspective that sets it apart from typical war movies.
For those eager to watch Pressure before it disappears, mark your calendars: the film will be removed from Peacock on December 1, 2026. It's also available on Prime Video, but that could change as well, so don't delay. If you're a fan of WWII dramas or just appreciate stellar acting, this is one you won't want to miss.
As the streaming landscape continues to shift, titles come and go with little warning. Pressure is just one of many films facing removal, and fans of Ridley Scott's The Last Duel are in a similar boat, as it's also set to leave Tubi in December 2026. Meanwhile, the Hunger Games franchise continues to dominate streaming charts, proving that audiences love revisiting familiar worlds.
With The Mummy 4 on the horizon, Brendan Fraser is back in the spotlight, and Pressure is a reminder of his range as an actor. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his work, this film is a must-watch. So grab some popcorn, settle in, and enjoy this hidden gem before it leaves Peacock for good.
