An unprecedented series of violent tornadoes is sweeping across Oklahoma. Tornado chasers, headed by Dr. Jo Harding, attempt to release a groundbreaking device that will allow them to track them and create a more advanced warning system. They are joined by Joโs soon to be ex-husband Bill, a former tornado chaser himself, and his girlfriend Melissa.
โTwister,โ released in 1996, is a thrilling disaster film directed by Jan de Bont. The story follows a team of storm chasers, led by Bill Harding (played by Bill Paxton) and his estranged wife Jo Harding (played by Helen Hunt), as they pursue a series of powerful tornadoes in Oklahoma. Their goal is to deploy a revolutionary weather data-gathering device called โDorothyโ to improve tornado warning systems.
