Twisters, the long-awaited sequel to the iconic 1996 disaster movie Twister, takes us back into the eye of the storm with the first adrenaline-filled official trailer of the film.

You can find out more details on the plot thanks to the official synopsis released by Universal Pictures, which reads as follows:

This summer, the epic disaster movie returns with an adrenaline-filled, gripping ride on the big screen that will put you in direct contact with one of nature’s most incredible and destructive forces. Daisy Edgar-Jones is Kate Cooper, a former tornado chaser haunted by a devastating encounter with one during her college years who now studies storm patterns from the safety of screens in New York.

After being lured back into the great outdoors by her friend Javi (Anthony Ramos) to test an innovative tracking system, she meets Tyler Owens (Glen Powell), the charming and reckless social media superstar who thrives on posting his adventures online in pursuit of tornadoes which, the more dangerous, the better. As storm season intensifies, terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed, and Kate, Tyler, and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the path of multiple storm systems converging on Oklahoma, forcing them to fight for their life.
