Bo Eason, Bruce Campbell, Ernie Hudson

For years, Jake Thorn, a storm chaser in the Texas panhandle, has been trying to outguess when twisters will strike - before they do. Then one day his former meteorology professor, Dr. Branson, comes ...( read more  read more... )to Tornado Alley with a startling invention with which he hopes to collect the data to be used to predict tornado activity. The only hitch; they must place the device smack in the devastating path of the twister - and get away in time. To make matters worse, Samantha Callen, a beautiful field investigator from the National Accounting Office, has been dispatched to kill the program - unless she can be convinced the invention will work. For Jake and Branson, it's a race against time and the elements in this compelling tale of heroism in the face of nature's fury. Bruce Campbell

    Bruce Campbell and Ernie Hudson are the only reasons to watch this film! It?s a poor man?s Twister in many ways but not as bad as that sounds.

    Bruuuuuuce Campbell, the man himself, is in this. Two stars for that alone. The movie is decent, but basically "Twister" with a TV budget.

    Mala pelicula la verdad es malisima literalmente desastroza lamento las veces que la vi
  • September 28, 2009
    Poor special effects, bland acting and the fact that it is a direct rip-off of Twister, released the same year, prevent this film from being entertaining. Predictable, the score is overdone and ihas too much dramatics leading to slow stretches.
