In May, a trailer for the flick was released which opens an Oklahoma rodeo with a crowd watching a bull rider followed by a storm siren.
The animals fled along with the crowd and a truck trying to drive away from the chaos was lifted up by the wind and tossed into an electric sign.
‘A once in a generation tornado outbreak continues across Oklahoma,’ a TV weatherman reported as Kate Cooper, played by 25-year-old English actress Daisy Edgar Jones, was studying the storm from afar at a federal weather agency.
A supervisor asked Kate for help with tornadoes after admitting that he’d never seen any like them before.
‘No, I don’t chase anymore,’ Kate said.
After being told that her help could save lives, Kate reluctantly agreed to give him one week.
Kate joined NASA and FEMA experts in Oklahoma and was surprised when self-described ‘tornado wrangler’ Tyler Owens, played by Glen, arrived.
‘If you feel it,’ Tyler said to his adoring fans. ‘Chase it!,’ they hollered back.

A note at the end said that Universal Pictures is partnering with the American Red Cross to help people affected by disasters.
Twisters is scheduled to be released in cinemas on July 19.
The film directed by Lee Isaac Chung also stars Anthony Ramos and features Brandon Perea, Maura Tierney, Sasha Lane, Kiernan Shipka and Paul Scheer.
Twisters is a stand-alone sequel to the 1996 film Twister that starred Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz and Cary Elwes.
The classic film sees two storm chasers on the brink of divorce be forced to work together to create an advanced weather alert system by putting themselves in the cross-hairs of extremely violent tornadoes.
