Which Twisters Character Are You?

Learn More About Twisters

Twisters is a legacy sequel to the 1996 disaster classic, following a new generation of storm chasers as they race across Oklahoma tornado alley. Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Carter, a once-promising researcher pulled back into the field after a tragedy, while Glen Powell plays Tyler Owens, a charismatic online storm-chasing celebrity with his own crew.

The film leans into practical effects and genuine tension, putting its characters directly into the path of increasingly dangerous storm systems while building a slow-burn rivalry-turned-partnership between Kate and Tyler.

Supporting characters like Javi, Boone, and Lily round out the ensemble, each representing a different approach to the same dangerous obsession: getting close enough to a tornado to actually understand it.

Twisters proved there was still an audience hungry for big-budget, practical-effects disaster movies, and its box office success all but guarantees more trips into the storm down the road.
