Set in Oklahoma, "Twisters" is billed by Universal Pictures as "a current-day chapter of the 1996 blockbuster, 'Twister,'" as opposed to a sequel or remake.
Minari writer-director Lee Isaac directed the movie which stars Glen Powell ("Top Gun: Maverick") as YouTube star and "tornado wrangler" Tyler, while Daisy Edgar-Jones ("Where the Crawdads Sing") plays scientist Kate and Anthony Ramos ("In the Heights") plays Javier, the well-funded colleague who lures her back into the field five years after her miscalculation gets several of their friends killed by a tornado.
The film has already earned more than $200 million at the North American box office.
