Presented as a ‘good old distaster movie’ and that is exactly what it is. A very American one too.
A young student has a theory on how she can make a tornado disappear. Her final test goes horribly wrong and she moves from the action of being a storm chaser, to a meteorologist office job. When an old school mate comes to talk her into a new project in the middle of the action, Kate returns to the state of her birth.
Javi (the school mate) now has a big company collecting tornado data. Out in the field Kate learns that storm chasing became a hip pastime with the popular YouTuber Tyler.
In a very predictable story Kate’s allegiances change and a patriotic romance unfolds. The film does show both the excitement and spectacle of storm chasing and the devastating results. Also you get a bit of a peek into how communities living in tornado active areas deal with the constant threat. I have no idea of all the ‘smart talk’ in the film is correct, but there is also quite a bit of that.
