Twisters, directed by Lee Isaac Chung, served as a standalone continuation of the 1996 disaster film Twister. Released in July 2024, it follows a new generation of storm chasers pursuing tornadoes across the American Midwest.
The film leaned on large-scale practical and visual effects to recreate the destructive power of storms, and it performed strongly at the summer box office, demonstrating renewed appetite for the disaster genre.
