In this action-packed disaster film set in America's heartland an ex-husband-and-wif e team of storm chasers rushes to be the first to study the dynamics of tornados with some fascinating new technology. Though Helen Hunt AS GOOD AS IT GETS and Bill Paxton APOLLO 13 star--along with a pre-fame Philip Seymour Hoffman--the uncredited lead roles are the tornados created with eye-dazzling computer- generated effects. SPEED director Jan de Bont takes the helm for this massive box office hit while bestselling author Michael Crichton contributed the fast-moving story. TWISTER earned Academy-Award nominations for its achievements in sound and visual effects.

Action - general DVD - Trading in the bus for a tornado, Speed director Jan De Bont brews up one of the most spectacular natural disaster films to ever hit the screen. When a record-breaking number of tornadoes attack the Midwest, Jo (Helen Hunt) and Bill (Bill Paxton) lead their team of "storm chasers" through Oklahoma in hopes of recording scientific evidence and devising an earlier warning system. Thought the nominal story takes a backseat to the truly amazing special effects, there is an appealing chemistry between Hunt and Paxton, and the supporting cast (led by Cary Elwes and Phillip Seymour Hoffman) supplies laughs. And if character development sometimes gets lost in the storm, De Bont creates a memorable villain in the devastatingly believable -- and beautiful -- spectacle of a computer- animated tornado. The skies are threatening, the landscape sweeping, and cows and tractors flying through the air will remind you of that other famous Hollywood cyclone. No one ends up in Oz here, but Twister has a mag
