This large format film follows a couple of meteorologists through some of the most extreme weather conditions on Earth. Monsoons, hurricanes, and tornadoes are the stars of this film, which also includes the short that shows the perils of filming such dangerous storms, "The Making of 'Stormchasers'". Despite its colossal scale, Stormchasers manages to be an intimate "you-are-there" documentary about the work that meteorologists do. We are with them in the cockpit of a P-3 weather plane as they penetrate the eye of a hurricane; with them in the tense, decisive moments on the road as they focus their radar on an approaching tornado, traveling to the heart of severe storms to learn what makes weather systems tick. When viewers witness the bumpy ride into the sudden and spectacular calm of a hurricane's eye, or the commando-like raid to the very brink of a killer tornado, they will experience one of the elemental joys of doing science: that of confronting nature head-on to divine its awesome secrets.
