Brendan Fraser's Second World War drama "Pressure" has become the world's top streaming film after wrapping up a limited cinema run, positioning it as the most acclaimed Second World War title since "Oppenheimer". The film's success comes despite stiff competition from other high-profile war-themed releases this year, including Tom Hanks's new docuseries "World War II with Tom Hanks" and the Apple TV+ series "Masters of the Air", suggesting audiences have a particular appetite for the genre and for this title specifically.

"Pressure" stars Fraser alongside Andrew Scott and Kerry Condon, and took around $18 million at the global box office during its theatrical run before moving to video-on-demand services such as Prime Video and Apple TV, where it has topped viewing charts. It has been well received by both critics and audiences, scoring 87% from critics and 95% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the best-reviewed films of the year so far.
