As storm season intensifies, the paths of former storm chaser Kate Carter and reckless social-media superstar Tyler Owens collide when terrifying phenomena never seen before are unleashed. The pair and their competing teams find themselves squarely in the paths of multiple storm systems converging over central Oklahoma in the fight of their lives.
This movie contains 29 potentially triggering events.
No, no child is abandoned by a parent. They are actually protected by their parents, as well as the main characters, in the pool and the climax fire tornado. They all end up okay.
Not too easy to answer this, but in order to continue with his investigations, a character must help one of the investors that has a company who buys wrecked houses of people who got affected by tornadoes using unfair contracts.
There are horses at a rodeo that are in distress and fleeing the tornado but none are shown to die onscreen so it could be assumed they got away safely.
Mention of destroying a chicken coop with a vehicle and potentially killing chickens. Feathers are shown but no actual death is shown. A chicken lands on a car safely later on.
There are horses and cattle at a rodeo that is abruptly hit by a tornado. The animals are shown fleeing and in distress but not shown to die so it could be assumed most/all ran away safely.
So cautious yes to animals dying but nothing overt is shown onscreen.
No animals are sad, but several horses are distressed as they run from the tornado, and the dog could possibly be implied to be sad too as it was trying to find its owner amidst the debris.
Tyler mentions trying to find an older person's dog, and continues looking for it for around 2 minutes. However, he does end up finding the dog and it manages to remain unharmed.
No dragons in this movie at all! This movie is meant to replicate real life, with the exception of futuristic devices that help the main characters study tornadoes.
Yes, several people are crushed as they attempt to hide in their cars, however the bodies are not shown, which the movie explicitly shows is probably about the worst place to hide during a tornado.
Strongly implied to happen off screen. Multiple characters are whisked away into the sky by tornado winds, but we never see what happens to them, so you could headcanon that they land safely somewhere.
Near the end of the movie, the main character tries to prove her experiment to stop a tornado that it's going to destroy a town. She's conscious that if her experiment fails, she may die, but decides to continue with it.
Three characters die at the beginning of the film, sucked up by the tornado. Deaths can be assumed to happen later to unimportant side characters but all happen offscreen as a result of getting sucked up (notably two people in a pickup truck and another person who does not follow instructions to ‘stay low’, and a couple of unnamed characters taking shelter in a movie theatre at the climax of the film).
Yes, there is a minor one where the main character dreams of her dead friend beside her. A chicken also lands suddenly on a car after their truck accidentally runs through a chicken coop while chasing a storm.
After the first tornado in present day, the reporter character is shown (after getting out of the car once the tornado passed) in footage filmed on a handheld camera to be vomiting in a field. It’s distant but you can see the ‘vomit’ falling into the tall grass. There is also a later very brief footage shot of him gagging inside the vehicle before he gets out as people laugh at it.
In the opening scene, characters attempt to seek shelter beneath an overpass. One character jams herself into a very tight corner and another character lays atop her to protect her.
An incident shown at the beginning of the film causes PTSD symptoms in the main character later, like panic/freezing in a high stress situation, and a dream/hallucination of someone who died. Another character who survived this incident also makes reference to it affecting him.
Stationary cars are shown to flip in high winds with people inside at least twice. Random minor characters are in a pickup that gets ‘sucked up’ by a tornado. Lots of damaged cars in set pieces post-tornadoes. No actual ‘crash’ impact but lots of chaotic driving and panic scenes in cars.
Mild injuries to characters typical of being involved in a disaster movie. One big wound on the main character’s thigh occurs during the first tornado but it’s not much of a focus. At the movie’s climax she has a head/temple wound with some drying blood. Any deaths occur offscreen/getting ‘sucked up’ by tornado so not much active bleeding/no gore.
