“Twisters brings back the blockbuster disaster epic with a whirlwind of heart-stopping action and exhilarating thrills. Ever since a devastating tornado encounter, Kate gave up chasing storms across the Oklahoma prairie to safely study them on screens in New York City,” reads the synopsis. “Lured back to the field by her friend Javi and a once-in-a-lifetime scientific opportunity, Kate crosses paths with Tyler, a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose thirst for tornado-tracking adventures made him a social media sensation. As storm season intensifies with terrifying phenomena unlike anything seen before, Kate and Tyler realize they may need to work together if they are to have any chance of taming, and surviving, an unprecedented outbreak of destructive tornados.”
