Twisters is a 2024 disaster film directed by Lee Isaac Chung (Minari) from a screenplay by Mark L. Smith (The Revenant). Produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, the producers of the Jurassic, Bourne, and Indiana Jones series of films. It is a standalone sequel to the 1996 film Twister, written by the late Michael Crichton.
Daisy Edgar-Jones (Where the Crawdads Sing) stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell, Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone But You), the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
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.
Additional cast members include Brandon Perea (Nope), Sasha Lane (American Honey), Daryl McCormack (Peaky Blinders), Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Nik Dodani (Atypical). and Golden Globe winner Maura Tierney (Beautiful Boy).
