Twister
The dark side of nature.
Directed by Jan de Bont
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures
A high-octane disaster spectacle centered on estranged spouses reunited by their shared passion for storm chasing, balancing spectacle with personal reconciliation.
An unprecedented series of violent tornadoes is sweeping across Oklahoma. Tornado chasers, headed by Dr. Jo Harding, attempt to release a groundbreaking device that will allow them to track them and create a more advanced warning system. They are joined by Jo's soon to be ex-husband Bill, a former tornado chaser himself, and his girlfriend Melissa.
