Netflix’s brand-new documentary, The Twister: Caught in the Storm, captures the true story of the category EF5 tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri, in 2011. There have been a number of tornado movies over the years, including Twister and Twisters, the 1996 original and the 2024 sequel/spin-off that both depict fictionalized but action-packed storms. There are also a host of other popular disaster movies, from Armageddon to The Impossible, and many in between.
