Twister Heads To 4K UHD For The Very First Time

Just in time for the release of the new movie Twisters, we’re getting Twister on 4K UHD.

The Jan de Bont directed film starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton hits 4K UHD for the very first time on July 9th. It’ll also be available for purchase from digital outlets like Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, and Fandango at Home at the same time. The film also stars Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), Jami Gertz (The Lost Boys), Lois Smith (Minority Report), Philip Seymour Hoffman (Boogie Nights), Alan Ruck (television’s “Succession”), Todd Field (Eyes Wide Shut), and Jeremy Davies (Saving Private Ryan).

The screenplay for Twister came from Michael Crichton and Anne-Marie Martin. Twister made history as the first theatrical feature film ever released on DVD in March 1997. It was nominated for two Academy Awards including Best Sound and Best Visual Effects. If you’ve never seen Twister, here’s a synopsis.

Don’t breathe! Don’t look back! Just run for your life when a destructive force of nature comes howling straight toward you, destroying everything in its path – when you’re running from a Twister. Academy AwardÒ winner Helen Hunt stars as Dr. Jo Thornton-Harding, who as a small girl watched her father sucked to his death from her family’s storm cellar by a massive tornado. Now a storm chaser, a scientist who risks her life to study the dark side of nature by taking her data-transmitting instruments directly into the path of a deadly storm, Jo chases the largest tornado ever to strike Oklahoma as her marriage implodes and rival scientists will stop at nothing to steal her breakthrough.

The 4K remastering process was overseen by director Jan de Bont.
