In 1996, fans were introduced to the world of storm chasing with the movie Twister. The film saw a group of five chasers who are sent to Oklahoma to install a tornado research device. While the idea in theory seemed not so alarming, the quintet (featuring Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes, Alan Ruck and Philip Seymour Hoffman) find themselves in the middle of a tornado, with consequences none of them ever expected.
Given the success of the movie (it received two Academy Awards nominations the year it came out), it seemed like a great idea to reimagine the story with the July 2024 release of the movie Twisters. Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos, the standalone sequel focuses on scientists who want to learn more about twisters in the middle of the United States. Just like the last movie, the trio get involved in a major natural disaster, leaving them to figure out how they can get out of the impossible situation.
With Twisters making roughly $81 million during its opening weekend, it's not hard to see how it quickly became a box office success. But for those who want to watch and stream Twisters at home for free, you're in luck. Not only is the movie coming to a streaming site, fans can already start watching it online.

According to Forbes, fans will have the opportunity to watch and stream Twisters for free on Peacock.
