Description

Six skilled Air Force pilots are tasked with an incredible mission—using smart bombs to diffuse tornadoes—but they soon find that Mother Nature is not to be trifled with.
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.

Sergeant William Cutler had just sighted a funnel cloud approaching the air base tarmac. He sounded the tornado warning. Personnel scrambled for cover. Within ten minutes, the buildings were heavily damaged, and planes were tipped over. With only a few bumps and bruises, all two hundred personnel were fine.
Unfortunately, this was not the case for the small town of Shelbyville. It received heavy damage and ten deaths.
Sergeant Cutler had an idea, which he related to his commanding officer. “Someday, we will be able to stop those twisters with our military might. And just maybe we could be fortunate enough to succeed, so we can help mankind from these terrible storms.”
His commanding officer replied, “I would love to see it in my lifetime.”
