About Twisters
From the producers of
the Jurassic and Bourne series, and the director
of Minari, comes the return of the epic studio disaster
movie. Kate, a former storm chaser haunted by her past, her
friend Javi, and Tyler, a reckless social-media superstar storm
chaser, come together to try to predict, and possibly tame, the
immense power of tornadoes. As storm season intensifies, terrifying
phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Javi, Tyler
and their crews find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple
storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
