Twisters introduces us to Kate Carter (Daisy Edgar-Jones), a former storm chaser who was deeply affected by a tornado encounter during her college years. Now, she studies storm patterns from the safety of New York City. However, her life takes a turn when her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) convinces her to return to the plains to test a groundbreaking new tracking system.

The plot thickens as Kate crosses paths with Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), a daring social media superstar who thrives on capturing dangerous storm-chasing adventures. As storm season peaks, unprecedented phenomena are unleashed, thrusting Kate, Tyler, Javi, and their teams into the path of multiple converging storm systems over central Oklahoma.

Professional Nerd | Amateur Human | Creative/Content Director The best way to describe Kevin Fenix is the kid you never tell what the buttons do in video games so you have a chance to win. Being 6’ 4” and Asian, he never really fit in, so he got comfortable standing out. Not only is it easy to find him in crowds, he dabbles in the culinary arts, does a little stand up and improv, and can honestly say Spider-Man is the Jesus-like influence of his life. Kevin Fenix loves dogs, movies, television, comics, comedy, and to shoot people… with video.
