Strap yourselves down! Lock the doors! We’re going back to 1996 to look at the dark side of nature… in Twister! Twister is the disaster adventure film which was directed by Jan de Bont from a screenplay by Michael Crichton and Anne-Matie Martin, which stars Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt as storm chasers researching tornadoes. University professor Dr. Jo Harding (Helen Hunt) and an underfunded team of students try to perfect a data-gathering instrument conceived by her estranged husband, Bill (Bill Paxton), the Dorothy, designed to be released into the funnel of a tornado. All the while they must compete with another better-funded team, led by rival Dr. Jonas Miller (Cary Elwes), with a similar device, as a tornado outbreak approaches across Oklahoma. February 25th, 2018 marks one year since the legendary Bill Paxton’s death, and we thought it would be quite fitting to take a look back at one of his movies.
