Plot
'Twisters' continues the story of the previous film almost with the same title, 'Twister', the movie about the most destructive atmospheric phenomena. This time, new characters will experience it 20 years after the discoveries made by scientists Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. Kate Carter, a former storm chaser played by Daisy Edgar-Jones ('Normal People'). Tyler Owens, a meteorologist-influencer portrayed by Glen Powell ('Top Gun: Maverick'). And Javi, Addy's friend, played by Anthony Ramos ('Hamilton').
Kate studies tornado patterns safely from her home computer since she had an incident with them years ago, but her friend Javi makes her relive the trauma by taking her to open plains in the heart of Oklahoma to test a tracking system. There, they encounter other expert competitors in the field, as well as Tyler Owens, an influencer known for his dangerous tornado-chasing adventures. But soon the situation takes a turn when the tornadoes intensify, and they must come together to try to survive these powerful phenomena never seen before.
The cast also includes actors such as Brandon Perea ('NOP'), Sasha Lane ('The Crowded Room'), Daryl McCormack ('Peaky Blinders'), Kiernan Shipka ('Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'), Nik Dodani ('Escape Room'), and Maura Tierney ('The Iron Clan'). With a script by Mark L. Smith, the film is directed by Lee Isaac Chung and produced by Oscar Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley.

Trivia
New characters
Despite making references to the original film, the story will be new and the previous characters will not appear.
First proposals
The sequel had been planned years ago by the leading actor of the previous film 'Twister', Bill Paxton, together with producer James Cameron. They tried to bring it out in 3D version in 2012, but it was cancelled due to budget problems. After Paxton's death in 2017, the film was not picked up again until now with Lee Isaac Chung as director.
Version proposed by Helen Hunt
One of the stars of the 1996 version, Helen Hunt, proposed a version of a sequel to Universal in July 2020. She proposed a story about the science team at a historically black university in Oklahoma using their own inventions to stop tornadoes. The actress wanted to direct and star in it but ultimately her idea was scrapped and canceled.
