This movie should be called an unpopular masterpiece
In the absence of big names and weak stories
But it makes people look at it involuntarily
But the 6.7 rating on Douban is painful to watch
I think it may be that we are too demanding of foreign films
The film "Not Afraid of the Storm" is a 2014 film produced by Warner
Directed by Steven Querrey
Starring Richard Armitage and Sarah Wayne Callis
In order to pursue a realistic sense of picture, the film uses a large number of live-action techniques
There were several strong wind turbines up to 100 mph during the shoot
As well as large construction cranes to create dim skies
The film tells the story of an unprecedented level 6 tornado, which caused a catastrophe caused by the sudden attack on a small town in the United States, and truly restores the amazing destructive power of the tornado through the perspectives of different filmmakers
The vice principal of the town high school is preparing for the graduation ceremony, and his eldest son Downey and youngest son Trey are both photography enthusiasts. The video of the graduation ceremony was originally done by Downey, but Downey went to the abandoned factory to shoot the film together in order to help his crush's female classmate
The video task naturally fell on Trey, and the graduation ceremony was prepared in a normal and orderly manner
Pete, the producer of the Storm Hunter documentary, is a tornado shoot fan. He not only makes money with the documentaries he shoots, but also has a love for the process of chasing the wind
Pete has a super hardcore car with an armored shell, bulletproof glass, and various weather detection instruments, and a 360° panoramic sunroof on the top
Not only that, but it also has a powerful grip that is said to be able to resist 10 winds
On this day, Pete led his own wind chasing team to prepare for the wind chasing. The team members are not only professional photographers, but also professional meteorologist Ellie
Ellie observed through meteorological satellites that there could be a tornado happening next. They drive to where it might happen. All the way the sky was thick with dark clouds, and the clouds slowly thickened, and suddenly a huge tornado was formed
At this time, Pete drove the armored car quickly to the middle of the road, firmly fixed the car to the road. Looking forward to the passage of the tornado, you can successfully shoot the eye of the tornado center
Only to see the place where the tornado passed, the house building was overturned like a fragment, the damage was extremely strong, but just in front of Pete suddenly turned the direction, Ellie through the observation, found that the tornado is heading towards the town's school
So the group quickly drove in the direction of the school, where the graduation ceremony of the school had begun, and the principal was giving a speech on the stage. Suddenly, the clouds were thick and a heavy rain poured down, and the teachers and students quickly ran to the teaching building
Then a tornado accompanied by a torrential rain overturned the roof in an instant, and the tree was uprooted. The students in the room clung to what they could grasp to make sure they weren't sucked away by the tornado
After the tornado crossed, Gary quickly called his eldest son Downey, but as soon as he was sure where his son was, the phone was broken, and before Downey could react, the tornado had arrived at the abandoned factory
Luckily, they were just trapped underground and not swept away. However, the bursting of the factory water pipes put them in a very dangerous situation
Gary learned that the tornado had turned to the abandoned factory and that the phone could not be reached, so he drove there himself. But just on the way, I encountered another tornado. The car was not controlled at all, and the glass burst in an instant
At this moment, she meets Pete and his party, Ellie is almost swept away by the wind, she grabs the door of the armored car deadly, and Gary pulls her with all her strength. Soon the tornado passed, and the two were lucky enough to survive
Ellie convinces Pete and Gary to go along the way to rescue his son, and they find several more tornadoes, turning into ruins everywhere they go. Cars in the parking lot are like balloons, and houses that are swept up in the air are torn apart like paper, and the eyes are in a mess
After the tornado subsided again, Gary and the others rushed to the abandoned factory. After the efforts of everyone, the two were finally rescued, and everyone got into Pete's armored car. Pete still wanted to keep tracking the tornado
As the car was on the road, Ellie noticed that two larger tornadoes were forming. The two tornadoes are slowly merging together into an unprecedentedly large tornado
Satellite images showed tornadoes that had surrounded the entire town. Gary is worried about students who are still at school. If this huge tornado had passed again, the building would have been destroyed and everyone would have been killed
So the group returned to the school and organized the students to quickly take the school bus to evacuate. It was not long after the school bus left. The tornado engulfed the school in an instant. The car was moving in front, and the tornado behind was chasing after it like a beast
Most of the vehicles passed quickly, but unfortunately a telephone pole suddenly fell to the ground. Blocked the vehicles of Gary and the others. The tornado behind is rapidly approaching, and it is at this critical juncture. Downey told everyone that there was a drainage ditch nearby
After entering the underground drain, they saw a picture that they would never forget for a lifetime, and the plane on the tarmac, like a paper airplane, was rolled up in the air and floated uncontrollably
At this moment, a large truck was suddenly swept up, smashed open the iron fence, and the manhole cover on it was also blown away. The upper and lower air outlets instantly increased the wind, and even some people had been swept out
If the central vortex of the tornado comes, everyone will die. At this moment, Pete climbed to the ground in spite of his safety, drove his wind-chasing armored vehicle, and blocked the opening of the iron fence
Although the wind force is reduced, it will be blown away at any time because there is no way to fix the armored vehicle because of the sandy land. At this time, the crowd pulled out the steel cable in front of the armored car and fixed it to the truck at the opening of the hole above, ending all this, and the whirlpool of the tornado also arrived
The wind was like a terrifying beast, roaring at this group of small humans. Soon, the steel cable fixed above broke, and the armored vehicles outside could not withstand the tornado attack. Instantly, it was mercilessly swept into the clouds
At this time, Pete was at the center of the tornado he had been chasing all his life, and he didn't know what he wanted. Through the dark clouds around him, Pete was greeted by the sun, like heaven
But then, once again, the surroundings darkened, and Pete completed the final wind chasing journey with his favorite wind chaser
The opening of the cave there was obscured by armored vehicles, and the wind power increased in an instant. Fortunately, everyone grabbed the steel cable on this side of the fence and successfully escaped the disaster
The tornado gradually dissipated, and the outside world has become calmer, but you can still see the traces of the tornado passing by, and it is devastated as far as the eye can see
Although their homes were destroyed, after experiencing this catastrophe, people also understood the preciousness of life, and they also knew more about tolerance and love for the people around them.
