Twisters (2024), a legacy sequel to the 1996 disaster movie Twister, is all set to introduce an intriguing storyline for the new generation.
In the original film, helmed by Speed director Jan De Bont, storm chasers Jo Harding played by Helen Hunt and Bill Harding portrayed by Bill Paxton attempt to deploy a revolutionary tornado-monitoring device. They deal with a series of deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma during tornado season. The upcoming movie by Lee Isaac Chung (known for the Oscar-nominated film Minari) follows a similar theme but with contemporary updates.
The first trailer of Twisters was dropped during the 2024 Super Bowl and it was nothing short of thrilling. Based on a screenplay by Mark L. Smith, this disaster thriller has been produced by Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley.
So if you are curious to know more about the latest movie, here are the potential plot, cast, release date and trailer details to look out for.
The plot of the 2024 movie ‘Twisters’
The plot details for the 2024 Twisters movie have mostly been kept under wraps. Fan theories suggest Daisy Edgar-Jones plays Kate Cooper, the daughter of Jo from the original movie, but it is yet to be confirmed. What we know for sure is that Kate is a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns. Her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) brings her back into the field when he devises a state-of-the-art storm-tracking system and wants to test it in the open.
The trailer starts with Kate and Javi confronting the immense power of a tornado. This encounter leaves Kate deeply affected, yet it becomes the catalyst to carry on the research initiated by Dr Jo Harding in the original 1996 film. The trailer also introduces Tyler (Glenn Powell) and unveils the twin tornadoes that contribute to the title of the film, Twisters.
Together, they will tackle the massive tornados and experiment with Jo’s research seen in the original film.
