Twisters (2024)

Storm-chaser Kate has moved to New York to work a desk job after losing 3 of her 5-person team to a tornado. But when the only other surviving team member shows up after 5 years to ask for her help, she agrees to travel back to Oklahoma to lend her expertise. Once they're there, she meets "tornado wrangler" Tyler who is unorthodox but knows his stuff.

The effects do every single bit of the heavy lifting here as the story is basically an outline and the characters are ciphers. The most lived-in character was Kate's mom (Maura Tierney) who was on-screen for less than 5 minutes.
