Official synopsis
O lado sombrio da natureza
Em Oklahoma está se anunciando uma tempestade que não acontece há décadas e dois grupos de cientistas rivais planejam entrar para a história colocando sensores no tornado, para que estas informações possam ir até um computador e, assim, seja possível prever sua chegada com maior antecedência. Mas para colocar os sensores, é necessário ficar o mais próximo possível do tornado e torcer para que os sensores sejam sugados pela tempestade. Em uma das equipes está uma jovem (Helen Hunt) obcecada por tal idéia, pois em 1969 ela viu o pai ser sugado por uma tempestade e atualmente ela planeja conseguir seu intento ou morrer tentando.
