A team of storm chasers must insert a revolutionary new measuring device in the heart of a violent tornado, while a married couple onboard rekindle their connection together.


Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton share top billing in this tornado-alley drama, but it's the twister itself which is the true star: it hasn't aged a bit. Simply thrilling. Also onboard for this ride is the wonderful - and sadly missed - Philip Seymour Hoffman.
