Warner Bros. | 1996 | 113 min | Rated PG-13 | May 06, 2008

The largest storm to hit Oklahoma in more than half a century is brewing, and it promises to drop multiple twisters into Tornado Alley. It's the storm that two rival groups of scientists—Jo Harding and her band of brash university students, and corporate-sponsored Dr. Jonas Miller and his sleek, crack cadre with their state-of-the-art research vans—have been waiting for to earn their place in meteorological history. Each team wants to be the first to launch their own equipment pack inside a twister to transmit valuable scientific data about tornado behavior. But to do so, they must put themselves directly in the path of the marauding monster—and stay always just ahead of the swirling twister, anticipating its every move. Adding to the charged atmosphere, Jo's soon-to-be-ex-husband, meteorologist Bill Harding, reluctantly joins Jo and his old crew for this last, epic chase.

Special Features

Twister touches down on Blu-ray with an average set of extras, beginning with a commentary track with Director Jan de Bont and Visual Effects Supervisor Stefen Fangmeier. Right from the get-go we can tell this is going to be a fairly tech-heavy track, focusing primarily on special effects. The track does open up to discuss character motivations, the performances of the actors, and so on, but we're mostly treated to a standard-fare track here that isn't a recommended listen. On a side note, the movie plays a little too loudly under the track, sometimes making it hard to hear de Bont and Fangmeier.

Chasing the Storm: Twister Revisited (480p, 28:58) is a retrospective piece on the film, beginning with a chat with director Jan de Bont and moving towards a basic making-of feature as the director discusses creating trial effects and casting. The feature also looks at the debris used for the film and the making of some of the more intense scenes, including the crash and subsequent explosion of the petroleum truck or the pickup truck driving through the house. The feature is interlaced with clips from the movie, and is pretty generic and dry in general, but worth a watch for fans. The Making of 'Twister' (480p, 13:51) recaps the plot of the movie, intercut with scenes from the movie as well as interviews with the cast and crew, including a fun tidbit about a real storm that hit the set the night before filming began and the real-life storm chasers that tracked it. Nature Tech: Tornadoes (480p, 45:18) is a History Channel feature from 2003 that looks at the most recent scientific advances in predicting violent storms. Wrapping things up are a music video by Van Halen entitled Humans Being (480p, 3:36) and two theatrical trailers for Twister (480p, 2:05 & 2:08).
