Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and written by Mark L. Smith, Twisters stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos in an action film centered on extreme weather phenomena. Released in theaters in 2024, the feature film will be available in France on HBO Max starting December 17, 2025.
Kate, a former tornado chaser, now lives in New York, far from the storms that marked her past. When her friend Javi asks her to test an innovative detection device, she agrees to return to the field. Their mission takes them to the heart of Oklahoma, where the storm season promises phenomena of unprecedented violence.
On site, Kate meets Tyler Owens, a popular tornado chaser on social media who favors a riskier approach. As several systems converge, the two teams must face a series of extreme weather events, placing them in the middle of a race against time.
The film is produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, figures from the Jurassic Park/World and Jason Bourne franchises. Steven Spielberg is the executive producer. Filming took place mainly in Oklahoma, on location, with studio sequences at Prairie Surf Studios in Oklahoma City. Director of photography Dan Mindel favored 35mm film for its specific visual texture. Meteorologists and storm chasers, including Kevin Kelleher, accompanied the crew to ensure the authenticity of the scenes related to weather phenomena. The script includes several references to the 1996 film Twister, while developing an independent plot centered on a new group of specialists.
Twisters is for fans of disaster movies and blockbusters focused on tension and immersion. The film highlights themes related to courage, risk management, and the evolution of extreme weather phenomena, supported by a fast pace and numerous action scenes.
