TWISTER is a US disaster thriller, from 1996, in which a team of daredevil storm chasers head into the heart of Tornado Alley to conduct dangerous research that could lead to the development of an earlier storm-warning system.

threat and horror
There are sustained scenes of moderate threat in which people's lives are endangered by violent storms that destroy buildings and hurl vehicles and debris through the air. A truck containing several characters is dragged into the air by a tornado and explodes in the distance. Another short sequence shows a live cow being swept away by a storm.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’). Milder terms include ‘son of a bitch’, ‘shit’, ‘bullshit’, ‘weiner’, ‘butt’, ‘damn’, ‘hell’, ‘Jesus Christ’ and ‘God’.
injury detail
Infrequent moderate injury detail includes sight of blood on a wounded survivor’s face and clothing in the aftermath of a natural disaster. We also see a glimpse of bloody detail on a blurry screen in the background of a scene as a drive-in cinema audience watches THE SHINING.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Sex references are mild, comic and infrequent.
