Fast moving story of a group of storm chasers lead by Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. Their scientific goal is to place sensors in the path of a tornado which will be picked up into the storm and radio back valuable data. It also gives them an opportunity to rekindle their romance, much to the consternation of his new fiance who thinks they are all crazy. As a movie, it's undeniably entertaining and fun, however it has almost no relation to reality. Had these been real storm chasers, they would have been killed a dozen times over due to their reckless actions.
