But the streaming platforms latest documentary is so much scarier than fiction.
Survivors recount the events of that day and what it was like to encounter the storm in gruesome detail.
Who are the survivors interviewed inThe Twister: Caught in the Storm?
Chad was a 13-year-old weather enthusiast who experienced the Joplin tornado firsthand.
The tornado then passed directly over them and the audio from the near death experience is extremely chilling.
No one thought he would have chosen the dates when the biggest storm in Joplins history would hit.
Cecil bravely helped customers at his frozen yogurt shop take cover and prayed with them until the storm passed.
Steven Weersing
Steven was driving around with friends when the tornado sucked his car up.
He survived very serious injuries only to contract a flesh-eating fungus from the dirty storm water entering his wounds.
With only a 5% chance of recovery, Steven beat the odds.
Mac and Kaylee had spent the previous night at a “Staying Alive” party, the theme was a reference to supposed prophecy that the world was going to end on May 21, 2011. The tornado hit the next day.
He was a senior who had just graduated high school.
In total, the tornado killed 161 people.
I think it just feels more important than ever that people understand the human impact of mother natures power.
Kaylee and Mac were dating at the time of the tornado. They are no longer a couple but remain friends.
And that is something I want people to think about.
Chad followed his meteorology dreams to Joplin, just in time for the tornado.
Cecil became a hero during the storm by looking after customers in the frozen yogurt shop where he was just a part-time employee.
Steven was 16 at the time of the tornado.
