What is Twisters about?

As mentioned earlier, the upcoming film is a standalone sequel to the 1996 film titled Twister. In the original film, starring Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, the two characters are on the brink of divorce, but they develop a weather alert system by risking their lives before their separation.

Twisters is inspired by the 1996 film and is a modern reimagination of it. Daisy Edgar-Jones' character, Kate Cooper, is a former storm chaser who now studies storm patterns from the comfort of her office in New York City. As the latest trailer suggests, she is called back into action by her friend Javi (Antony Ramos) as she is the only one who can help him test out a groundbreaking storm-tracking system.

Tyler Owens, the film's second protagonist, enters the fray when Kate heads out into the field for the first time in years. Tyler is a loud-mouthed storm chaser, famous on the internet for posting his heroic antics and chasing storms with his crew. The film traces how the two different people merge their ideas and experiences to test out the new storm tracking system in the wake of a disastrous storm threatening Oklahoma.

An excerpt from the official synopsis of the film reads:

"This summer, the epic studio disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-pumping, seat-gripping, big-screen thrill ride that puts you in direct contact with one of nature’s most wondrous—and destructive—forces."

Another excerpt from the synopsis reads:

"As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler, and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives."

The chemistry between Kate and Tyler is visible in glimpses in the trailer as they eventually start trusting each other's processes. The film will surprise viewers as they wait to see whether the protagonists succeed in containing the deadly storm.

The film has been directed by Oscar-winning director Lee Isaac Chung (Mindari). Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley are the executive producers of the film, known for producing films like Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones.
