Synopsis: Twister (1996)

The largest storm to hit Oklahoma in more than half a century is brewing, and it promises to drop multiple twisters into Tornado Alley.

The largest storm to hit Oklahoma in more than half a century is brewing, and it promises to drop multiple twisters into Tornado Alley. It's the storm that two rival groups of scientists--Jo Harding and her band of brash university students, and corporate-sponsored Dr. Jonas Miller and his sleek, crack cadre with their state-of-the-art research vans--have been waiting for to earn their place in meteorological history. Each team wants to be the first to launch their own equipment pack inside a twister to transmit valuable scientific data about tornado behavior. But to do so, they must put themselves directly in the path of the marauding monster--and stay always just ahead of the swirling twister, anticipating its every move. Adding to the charged atmosphere, Jo's soon-to-be-ex-husband, meteorologist Bill Harding, reluctantly joins Jo and his old crew for this last, epic chase.

    Best Tornado Movie Ever, but it still mediocre

  • Overall:

    The best tornado film there is.

    By Tough Guy  Jul 15, 2001

    The only reason I think it didn't deserve 5 stars was because the unlikely hood of almost all tornadoes stopping and moving on after Bill & Jo. It would stop, go after them, and then, when they are in someplace safe where they can stay, it goes direc...tly above them and stays there. But other than that an excellent movie with a plot that is so great that even today we could use the idea of inserting a device for predicting tornadoes into an actual tornado.Genius and a good movie.
