A tornado destroys a small town, even causing casualties. With homes in pieces and family members dead, victims of this storm long for a day when twisters are a thing of the past-as does the American military. Would it be possible to use military force to prevent destruction and death? A group of brave Air Force pilots is about to find out. Recruiting the best of the best, Commander Cutler brings candidates to Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma. Only six will be chosen to undertake this life-saving mission. After a series of tests, Cutler builds his team and breaks the incredible news to six pilots who don't know what they're in for. The idea is simple but scary and has been in the works for ten years. Their mission is to approach tornadoes and drop smart bombs into the upper part of the vortex. That, in turn, will dissipate the twister once and for all. In the midst of their mission, the team faces disastrous odds, dodging debris like vehicles, trees, and roofs. If they survive, they will change the fate of thousands, but safety is not guaranteed when Mother Nature is the enemy.
