00:01The weather can destroy us.
00:06I'm very proud they chose you, Jim.
00:09Dr. James Stagg, reporting for Gigi.
00:11General Eisenhower will see you now.
00:14D-Day will be the largest seaborne invasion in history.
00:20Churchill tells me you're the best meteorologist in the country.
00:23I need a forecast.
00:26Our troops require perfect conditions.
00:28Any waves over six feet? Impossible.
00:32Sir, long-term weather forecasting has really only ever educated guesswork.
00:38We invade Trance Monday, June 5th. You've got 61 hours.
00:44The fate of the war.
00:46Thousands of lives hinge on this.
00:50Churchill says he's a genius.
00:52Men are too fond of that word.
00:54Get me the data from every MET station within 2,000 miles of Normandy.
00:58If we've measured it, then I want it.
00:59Captain Stagg, this is General Montgomery.
01:02The enemy has doubled its defenses in as many weeks.
01:05If we delay, we will lose this war.
01:08We're looking good, sir.
01:10The weather is a go.
01:12I couldn't disagree with that more.
01:15They won't like this.
01:17There are two major storms advancing towards the Normandy coast even as we speak.
01:22Are you absolutely certain?
01:24I'm confident that the storms will come.
01:28Not good enough.
01:31How are you so certain that they're coming?
01:34D-Day will be calm and sunny.
01:36Are you blind?
01:36If you invade tomorrow, they're going to be washed away.
01:41My men are ready for the big match.
01:45Get them onto the beaches.
01:46Somehow, anyhow, leave the rest to me.
01:52Soldiers, sailors, and airmen.
01:54The eyes of the world are upon you.
01:57Stagg is gonna crack.
01:59Go or don't go, that's it.
02:02The wrath of nature is real.
02:05And we must face the Vat.
02:08However frightening they may be.
02:14Captain Stagg.
02:17Do you want to be personally responsible?
02:20For losing this war?
