An unexplained, local split in the atmosphere causes a series of total unpredictable, yet devastating tornadoes. Rookie fireman Brian Flynn gets trapped in the underground sewage with his girlfriend, deputy mayor James 'Jim' Lawrence and climatologist Dr. Cassie Lawrence's niece Lori. Mayor Leonardo of New York initially refuses to pay proper attention to the phenomenon, a 'reelection threat', so the alert status remains too low for long. Atypical lightning discovered inside tornadoes adds unprecedented dangers. The Lawrences and aeronautics renegade Dr. Lars Liggenhorn conceive a possible solution by launching rockets, but NASA's Dr. Quinn overrules them, imposing standard silver iodine.

| User ReviewGaspar OThrilling edge of your seat. Those who keep up with climate change will enjoy. |
| User ReviewSovaN Maverage movie.... nothing more 2 say from my side |
| User ReviewVyen Cnot a very good story... just hate the scary lightning! it make me feels that all electric are extremely dangerous! |
| User ReviewJess AIt was obviously a low budget film. Not bad overall, but pretty typically storyline. I was just amused to see 12 different Supernatural actors in it :) |
| User Reviewd Teh tHe TeA jquite ok, but having a smwat predicted storyline + ending while the tornado and effects all were so unrealistic, kinda a big turn off... |
| User ReviewVolodymyr LOtra película inspirada en el calentamiento global. Para haber sido hecha durante el 2008 presenta defectos especiales... perdón, efectos especiales más desastrosos que la misma trama de la película. Las actuaciones son sobrias, y pese a lo dicho la película logra entretener sin que llegue a perder su naturaleza desastrosa (no es una película de acción). Lamentablemente no me explico como la científico se preocupa más por el desastre en general que por la vida de su hermana, pero creo que ella lo explica cuando le dice "Nunca creí que me alegraría tanto de verte". El final de la película es algo brusco. La película está ambientada donde siempre: Nueva York (muy poco original). La música pudo ser mejor, pero es buena. |
| User ReviewJessica GMovie plot lacked explanation and indeed lacked research into tornadoes and their development. Effects were ok, not the best I have seen. |
| User ReviewYury DIf it weren't for Nicole de Boer acting as the requisite eye candy, there'd be absolutely nothing worthwhile about this crappy "Day After Tomorrow" wannabe. |
| User ReviewMichael HI really should resist these made for TV disaster movies. The acting is bad and the special effects are cheesy. This movie is no exception. |
| User ReviewChris DSo awful. A classic Scifi Original Motion Picture... great for a laugh though. The acting was a joke as was the plot itself. This was almost as bad as dinosquad. |
