Product Description:
IN THE HEART OF TORNADO ALLEY, AN UNFUNDED, RAGTAG GROUP OF SCIENTISTS MAKE THEMSELVES RIGHT AT HOME IN THE MIDDLE OF SOME OF NATURE'S MOST VIOLENT STORMS. IN ORDER TO LAUNCH EXPERIMENTAL EQUIPMENT DESIGNED TO HELP THEM DEVELOP AN EARLY TORNADO WARNING SYSTEM THESE RESEARCHERS RISK IT ALL IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE.
Amazon.com:
Twister was a mega-million-dollar blockbuster--helmed by a director (Dutchman Jan de Bont) hot off another scorcher hit (Speed)--that flaunted state-of-the-art digital effects and featured a popular leading actress (Helen Hunt) who would win an Academy Award for her next film (As Good As It Gets). But ask anybody who's seen it and they'll tell you who the real star of Twister is: the cow. Not to give anything away, but the cow is one of those inspired little touches (like, say, Bronson Pinchot's career-making cameo in Beverly Hills Cop) that adds a touch of personality to a gigantic Hollywood production. The story is blown out the window after an impressive prologue in which Hunt's character, as a little girl, witnesses her daddy being sucked into a tornado. Basically, Hunt and Bill Paxton are thrill-seeking meteorologists chasing twisters in order to study them (and help warn people of them, of course) with a new technology they've developed. If you thought the Kansas tornado in The Wizard of Oz was every bit as scary as the Wicked Witch of the West, then this may be the movie for you. --Jim Emerson

How often can you watch a group of combination scientist/ summer camp kids ride around in a seedy van and say, staring with glassy vacuous eyes " MY GOD IT'S A CLASS FIVE "

An Ok Movie to kill a couple of Hours. Not a Masterpiece, but for a disaster movie....

It came in good time and was in good shape. The jacket and cd were like new.
My grandson (age 10) was glued to the tube the whole time! We'll keep it in our library.

This movie pegs the "Oh-Yea-Sure" meter way to often. I can't think of anything good to say about it.
