Baseball-size hail, violent winds, and churning tornadoes make supercells deadly, and when William Brody was a boy, his father -- a legendary storm-chaser -- was killed by one. Now, the family business belongs to Zane Rogers (Alec Baldwin), a reckless tour operator who sees dollar signs where others see storm clouds. When his destiny arrives in the form of one of the most powerful storms on record, William leaves his mom (Anne Heche) and home behind to team up with his father's ex-partner, Roy Cameron (Skeet Ulrich), barely surviving a tornado yet determined to chase one of nature's most terrifying creations: the bear's cage.

Leslie Felperin Guardian Jun 6, 2023
3/5
The thriller-y bits are duly exciting, and there’s something almost endearing about a film that makes no attempt to find comedy or supernatural elements or airborne sharks within these dangerous-enough natural conditions. Go to Full Review
Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Mar 21, 2023
Between the genuinely awe-inspiring storm effects and Corey Wallace’s rousing, old-fashioned score, “Supercell” feels like a cheaper but in some ways more heartfelt version of a ‘90s blockbuster. Go to Full Review
David Parkinson Radio Times Apr 17, 2025
2/5
Despite the integration of bona fide footage by fabled stormchaser Pecos Hank Schyma, the film's action largely circumvents excitement and is hamstrung by bargain-basement special effects. Go to Full Review

C-
Far from super, even though it generates a lot of dramatic hot air. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue Apr 5, 2023
Whenever the skies are calm, this eye-rolling thriller about a family of Texas storm chasers loses its thunder. Go to Full Review

2/5
The storm-chasing in this modestly budgeted feature never amps up the excitement the way it needs to. And the human drama (though well-intended) isn’t strong enough carry us through. Go to Full Review
