Twister 4K Blu-ray Details
Don't breathe! Don't look back! Just run for your life when a destructive force of nature comes howling straight toward you, destroying everything in its path – when you're running from a Twister. Academy Award winner Helen Hunt stars as Dr. Jo Thornton-Harding, who, as a small girl, watched her father sucked to his death from her family's storm cellar by a massive tornado. Now a storm chaser, a scientist who risks her life to study the dark side of nature by taking her data-transmitting instruments directly into the path of a deadly storm, Jo chases the largest tornado ever to strike Oklahoma as her marriage implodes, and rival scientists will stop at nothing to steal her breakthrough.
Here is the list of special features:
- The Legacy of Twister – Taken by the Wind (NEW)
- Chasing the Storm: Twister Revisited
- Anatomy of a Twister
- The Making of Twister
- Van Halen Music Video – Humans Being
- Commentary by director Jan de Bont and visual effects supervisor Stefen Fangmeier
Man, I constantly cranked that Van Halen song when I was a kid. I have been obsessed with this movie for years, and the fact that another one is coming in two months blows my mind. Off to Spotify to crank this soundtrack.
