Commuters grabbing coffee after the Metro often find themselves drawn to real-life stories where individual decisions alter world history.

Andrew Scott delivers a compelling performance as Captain James Stagg, the Scottish meteorologist tasked with predicting the unpredictable English Channel weather. He stood firm against high-ranking commanders when everything was on the line.
Office workers escaping lunchtime routines to catch upcoming trailers will appreciate the vulnerability Brendan Fraser brings to General Dwight D. Eisenhower.
