Ram Trucks Will Go For Another Spin In Twisters
Jun 10, 2024 - 2 minute read
In 1996, a little film called Twister debuted with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton, a divorced couple who used to chase tornadoes together with their team, which included the legendary Philip Seymour Hoffman. It was co-written by novelist and screenplay writer Michael Crichton. Dr. Jo Harding, played by Helen Hunt, had a 1981 Jeep J10 Honcho truck that was destroyed by a twister while chasing it down, so she and her ex, Bill Harding, played by Bill Paxton, take his brand new Flame Red 1995 Dodge Ram 2500. Both the Jeep and the Ram are cult classics now. When the film came out, the second generation Ram had just debuted in 1994, changing the truck market forever. Oh, and the film went on to make $495.7 million at the box office.
A Standalone Sequel, More Ram
The sequel, titled Twisters, will be released on July 19 and is keeping with the rich tradition of a Ram truck hunting down tornadoes to learn more about them. In this case, however, it’s a Ram Dually, but it still has Flame Red paint. Other Ram truck models will appear throughout the tornado-chasing disasters, including the Ram TRX. This film features newly minted star Glen Powell of Top Gun: Maverick, Hit Man, and Anyone But You, alongside Golden Globe and BAFTA-nominated actress Daisy Edgar-Jones in the lead role.
Actors and Plot
Together, the actors play Kate Cooper and Tyler Owens. Cooper is a former storm chaser brought back into the world to use her expertise in storm patterns to help test new storm-tracking technologies. Tyler Owens is a hotshot storm chaser who charms everyone with his good looks and fearless antics in tracking tornadoes.
Why Ram Trucks? Why Not!
What makes Ram trucks so perfect for chasing down storms and tornadoes? More than anything, cool style. The second-gen Ram featured in the original film was the best-looking truck at the time and actually changed the way trucks were made from then on. The newer Ram trucks that will be in Twisters will undoubtedly showcase the power and usability of the various models offered.
