Twisters is ready for a full-fledged release on OTT after being available for rent on Prime Video. The film will begin streaming on JioCinema (OTTplay Premium) on December 18, 2024. Lee Isaac Chung helmed the disaster flick Twisters, Mark L. Smith wrote the script, and Joseph Kosinski contributed to the plot. Starring Sasha Lane, Maura Tierney, Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Glen Powell, and Daisy Edgar-Jones, it is the sequel to Twister (1996). It chronicles rival storm chaser groups in Oklahoma as they look into a tornado outbreak.

Plot overview

With a flurry of jaw-dropping action and thrilling thrills, Twisters revives the smash-hit catastrophe epic. Kate (Daisy Edgar-Jones) stopped following storms across the Oklahoma prairie after a terrible brush with a tornado. Now she safely studies storms on screens in New York City. When Kate's buddy Javi (Anthony Ramos) brings her back to the field for a once-in-a-lifetime scientific chance, she meets Tyler (Glen Powell), a charming daredevil and self-proclaimed tornado wrangler whose insatiable appetite for tornado-tracking exploits made him famous on social media. The storm season is heating up with terrible new phenomena, and Kate and Tyler may have to band together if they want to survive an unprecedented outbreak of devastating tornadoes.

Reviewers gave it positive reviews, and it made $371 million globally.

Visual effects and technical accuracy

Visual effects artists and technical advisors, such as storm chaser Sean Casey, used footage of actual tornadoes and supercell clouds to build the tornadoes in the film. The makers modeled the finale's tornado after a wedge tornado that struck Kansas in 2023, a tornado that struck Western Kentucky in 2021, and the El Reno tornado of 2013.

Since the natural disasters in Twisters are both entertaining and seriously impactful in real life, Chung claimed that striking a balance between the two was the most difficult aspect of filming the film.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provided logos and props, and the creators of Twisters worked with them throughout creation. The organization went on to say that the video only partially portrayed its contribution to scientific accuracy.
