Twisters (2024 film)

The 1996 disaster movie "Twister" saw a group of underdogs tracking down the most powerful storm in decades. With global warming becoming the talk of the world, it became appropriate to unleash its modern-day sequel to the 1996 blockbuster.

Directed by Lee Isaac Chung and produced by the same folks behind the Jurassic, Bourne, and Indiana Jones series, Twisters is a modern-day chapter of the 1996 classic disaster flick where a group of storm chasers tracks down powerful tornadoes wreaking havoc across the village.

It's a shame the original cast didn't make it to this sequel, which is the biggest weakness this movie showcases, but this movie feels topical and real at the same time because it showcases the grim reality of today's world where global warming can easily trigger record-breaking storms, especially twisters. This is exactly why a modern-day take on a 1996 classic was made.

Amazingly, RAM Trucks were involved in this movie, providing their toughest trucks to withstand the world's deadliest tornadoes unleashed in this movie. Thank you, Stellantis.

Although it nearly doesn't feel like the original, Twisters showcased the grim reality of today's world thanks to global warming. If you got blown away by the 1996 original, just wait until you enjoy its present-day chapter. Be warned.
