In 1996, fans were introduced to the world of storm chasing with the movie Twister. The film followed a group of five chasers sent to Oklahoma to install a tornado research device. The quintet (Bill Paxton, Helen Hunt, Cary Elwes, Alan Ruck and Philip Seymour Hoffman) soon find themselves in the middle of a tornado, facing unexpected consequences.
Given the success of the movie (it received two Academy Awards nominations the year it came out), it seemed like a great idea to reimagine the story with the July 2024 release of the movie Twisters. Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos, the standalone sequel focuses on scientists who want to learn more about twisters in the middle of the United States. Just like in the original movie, the trio get involved in a major natural disaster, leaving them to figure out how they can get out of the seemingly impossible situation. And like its predecessor, it's gaining its own form of critical acclaim with a 2025 Golden Globes nomination for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement.
With Twisters making roughly $81 million during its opening weekend, it's not hard to see how it quickly became a box office success. Well, for those who want to watch and stream Twisters at home for free, you're in luck. Fans can now watch online on a popular streaming site.
Is Twisters streaming?
You bet! Twisters was officially available online as of August 2024 — but at the time, folks could only rent or buy it on video-on-demand sites like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Google Play Movies and YouTube Movies and TV. Fans can still purchase a digital copy for $24.99, or they can rent it for a 48-hour period for $19.99.
But if you want to watch Twisters for free, there is another option for you.
Where can I watch and stream Twisters for free?
'Twisters'
Twisters is now available to watch and stream for free on Peacock.
For those wondering why Twisters landed on the platform, it comes down to the fact that the movie is being distributed by Universal Pictures. Universal has a licensing deal that allows its films to stream on the site. Universal's deal with Peacock states movies like Twisters can hit the streamer roughly three to four months after debuting in the box office, which is why fans were able to start streaming the movie beginning in November 2024.
Now that Twisters is available to stream on Peacock, viewers will want to make sure they have a subscription ready before watching. Luckily, the streamer offers plans that start at $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. Once you have an account all set up, you can watch it on Peacock's website or on-the-go with the Peacock app.
