Twister was produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, with financial backing from Warner Bros. Pictures and Universal Pictures. In return, Warner Bros. was given the North American distribution rights, while Universal's joint venture distribution company United International Pictures (UIP) obtained international distribution rights. The original concept and 10-page tornado-chaser story were presented to Amblin Entertainment in 1992, written by Jeffrey Hilton under the title 'Catch the Wind'. Steven Spielberg was intrigued by the idea and presented the concept to writer Michael Crichton. Crichton and his wife, Anne-Marie Martin, were paid a reported $2.5 million to write the screenplay, which made Twister the single most expensive screenplay ever written at that time. Spielberg himself was originally attached to direct the project, and directors such as James Cameron, John Badham, and Robert Zemeckis were also in talks to helm the film before Jan de Bont signed on to Twister after leaving Godzilla due to creative differences.

By all measures, this is just a passable film, albeit with cool CGI for its time, but I just adore it. It has some incredibly lamp-like atmosphere. By the way, CGI still looks good. Tornadoes are fascinating, and in general the power of this element gives me goosebumps. Translated to English
It was filmed cool for its time, of course, but chasing a hurricane kamon 5 times is impossible to keep the whole film in suspense, and the stereotype of the love triangle is somehow depressing Translated to English
The spirit of the 90s movies is felt. I didn’t think that this film would have a scattering of stars: Helen Hunt , Bill Paxton , Philip Seymour Hoffman and others. Not a bad disaster movie. Translated to English
One of the most exciting films about tornadoes. At the center of the plot is a team of practical scientists, tornado researchers who not only want to film it on video, but also send hundreds of small sensors into flight that can measure the tornado’s performance from the inside. Translated to English
One of the best films about professionalism and passion for the business. However, there are enough awards, even 2 Oscars and a raspberry) Translated to English
A mediocre action movie from the 90s. The only thing that makes it stand out is the numerous well-staged chases after a tornado. The alternative title "Catch the Wind" is much more suitable. And also, against the backdrop of the chases, a mothballed love story. 5.5/10 Translated to English
