About this movie

Academy Award winner Helen Hunt stars as the leader of a rag-tag band of tornado chasers on a perilous quest to test a new sensor device. Bill Paxton plays her fellow scientist and estranged husband who unwittingly joins her crew on this meteorologically active day. Perhaps they can make amends and salvage their marriage, but only if they can survive--the twisters. State-of-the-art special effects stir up this gripping, smash-hit action-adventure directed by the master of action himself--Jan de Bont. (Original Title - Twister)

Ratings and reviews

I'm dropping this a star because it's not the best film ever BUT, saying that, it's one I've watched the most. I go back to this film time and time again because it's just so enjoyable, it doesn't take a lot of brain power and the acting is really good. I'll forever be wondering what's in Aunt Meg's gravy and why Pepsi ended up sponsoring the film. Anyway, just watch it - as I have done probably 100 times!

Any film with Bill Paxton in it is great. And this is a great film. If any who hasn't seen it, well I recommend you watch it. And yes it is worth 5 stars and above. BEST film in the UNIVERSE. (Bill Paxton may he Rest in peace)

The best tornado film I've seen. I'm not a fan of Helen Hunt usually, but this film overides that. The 'cow' scene is brilliant. Can't say much other than what I already said - it's the best so far. Obviously I bought a copy.
