Storyline
TV weatherman Bill Harding is trying to get his tornado-hunter wife, Jo,
to sign divorce papers so he can marry his girlfriend Melissa. But
Mother Nature, in the form of a series of intense storms sweeping across
Oklahoma, has other plans. Soon the three have joined the team of
stormchasers as they attempt to insert a revolutionary measuring device
into the very heart of several extremely violent tornados.

Twister has everything I like in an action movie. It has amazing special effects, heart-stopping action, and a reasonably well written storyline. It even has some heartbreaking parts which almost brought tears to my eyes and I don't usually cry during movies. However I almost cried during Twister. Jan De Bont has created a very enjoyable that maybe doesn't come up to masterpiece material, but still is a memorable action movie that won't be forgotten for a long long time.
