Little is known about the exact plot details for Twisters, though the trailer has shined a light on a few specifics. Daisy Edgar-Jones' Kate is rumored to be the daughter of Helen Hunt's Jo, but no details have been revealed that confirm that speculation. Instead, it is known that Kate is a researcher who, after a harrowing experience with a tornado, aims to further Jo's research from the first film.
She'll enlist the help of Glen Powell's hot-shot storm chaser, Tyler, and together they'll attempt to recreate the Dorothy experiments seen in the classic 1996 disaster film. While more details are expected as the movie's release date draws closer, the basic premise of Twisters won't be all that different from its predecessor.
The official synopsis of the film reads as:
"Daisy Edgar-Jones stars as Kate Cooper, a former storm chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi (Golden Globe nominee Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system.
There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social-media superstar.....a never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives."
Twisters is scheduled for release by Universal Pictures in North America and Warner Bros. Pictures internationally on July 19, 2024.
