How to watch Twisters

One of What to Watch’s most anticipated summer blockbuster movies of 2024 , Twisters is finally spinning its way to audiences. Eager to see Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones chase some tornadoes? Then you've come to the right place, as we have all the info you need on when and where you can watch Twisters .

Though it is carrying on the legacy of 1996's classic blockbuster Twister , the 2024 new movie does not consider itself a sequel to the original movie or a reboot, as there is no real connection between the two movies aside from it being about storm chasers (but there is an Easter egg for fans to enjoy). Even so, the new movie is a worthy successor to the original, as our Twisters review details.

What else to know about Twisters

Twisters is directed by Minari filmmaker Lee Isaac Chung and was written by Mark L. Smith from a story by Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. Here is the synopsis:

Kate Carter, 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, is lured back to the open plains by her friend, Javi, to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with Tyler Owens, the charming and reckless social-media superstar who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew; the more dangerous the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler, Javi and their crews find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.

Powell and Edgar-Jones headline the Twisters cast that also includes Anthony Ramos, Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Harry Hadden-Patton, David Corenswet, Daryl McCormack, Tunde Adebimple, Katy O’Brian, Nik Dodani and Kiernan Shipka.
