A TBS Production for TV that kind of falls short. A series of powerful tornadoes threaten to destroy a nuclear power plant in Tennessee. Some of the F/X are interesting, more interesting than the story itself. Sharon Lawrence is the unrealistic hero; but she looks oh so good running around in a white tank top trying to save the plant. Also impressive is the eager Mark-Paul Gosselaar as the whipping boy of the police unit. Also in the cast are Corbin Bernsen and Fraser McGregor. My favorite scene is where McGregor, who plays Lawrence's son, tricks his buxom baby sitter into playing a game of Twister so he can look down her blouse. Scenes at the power plant are made to look so technical they lose realism. Hardly enough to get your blood to pumping.
