Movies that feel likeTwisters (2024)

As storm season intensifies, the paths of former storm chaser Kate Carter and reckless social-media superstar Tyler Owens collide when terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed. The pair and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.

If you loved Twisters, the closest films we have are No Escape (2015), Haywire (2011) and Extraction (2020). All three share Twisters' kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Unstoppable (2010).
