But Mother Nature, in the form of a series of intense storms has other plans. Jo's team is planning to launch revolutionary electronic sensors into the funnel of the tornado. They hope to obtain data to create an improved weather warning system. In order to get the sensors to work, the team must intercept the twister.

Good submitted by Chris82 on July 31, 2011, 9:01pm This is a fun little action movie about people who hunt tornado to learn more about them.

Let its mediocrity blow you away submitted by Pumpkinscones on July 9, 2013, 7:27pm Let your suspension of disbelief be wafted gently away...... No, let it be blown out of the gaping hole where your roof used to be, but then enjoy this for what it is. Bill Paxton looking rugged, Helen Hunt looking cute and cheeky and both of them sounding super smart about stuff that you probably won't understand but who cares when there are cows and farm equipment flying through the air. It's dumb, it's big, it has Carey Elew being a bugger and Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman playing a stoner tornado chaser. What more do you need?

Twister submitted by SBNB on August 5, 2018, 2:27pm This was one of my favorite movies when I was a teenager. Tornados, humor, love story, flying cows... what more do you need?

Twister submitted by lstorc on July 3, 2019, 7:11pm Twister is a ridiculous film; unintentionally hilarious in the way Sharknado is intentionally comical.
