Ahead of the new Twisters film set to debut in theaters later this month, the original film is returning to streaming. The original 1996 film from director Jan de Bont has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years. The disaster flick sees Academy Award winner Helen Hunt take on the role of Dr. Jo Thornton-Harding who as a small girl watched her father sucked to his death from her family's storm cellar by a massive tornado.
Per the synopsis,"Now a storm chaser, a scientist who risks her life to study the dark side of nature by taking her data-transmitting instruments directly into the path of a deadly storm, Jo chases the largest tornado to ever strike Oklahoma as her marriage implodes and rival scientists will stop at nothing to steal her breakthrough."
As of July 1st, Twister is available to stream on Max. Twisters, which stars Glen Powell , Kiernan Shipka , David Corenswet , Anthony Ramos , and Daisy Edgar-Jones , is described as the opposite of a reboot or a continuation of the first film, as they aren't trying to recreate the story of the original. As the summer rolls in it provides an opportunity for several films to see great success.
