让我们开始一次从龙卷风的内部记录其景象的旅程吧。在截击龙卷风这一记录片里，对龙卷风十分痴迷的电影制作人Sean Casey和我们一起“走进”龙卷风的漩涡里，捕捉世界上首个IMAX镜头。参与这次拍摄的还有著名气象学家Josh Wurman博士。他领导其装备有移动多普勒雷达卡车队和Sean一道从龙卷风破坏性的底部捕捉重要数据，并为Sean的研究提供帮助。
在他们的自制坦克“龙卷风截击器”Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV)的相对安全的环境里，Sean和他的队友们必须穿过重重树障，还不得不面对燃料不足，以及令人苦恼的技术故障等问题。Wurman博士驾驶着钢板外壳的龙卷风截击器卡车探访一个又一个龙卷风，沿途还必须和陌生的地形以及毛病不断的仪器作斗争。当技术帮不上忙的时候，他们不得不将一匹马系在卡车头以当动力。
Sean最终往一个强度中等的龙卷风驶去，但此时仪器再度失灵。在龙卷风被暴雨覆盖以及缺乏精确数据的情况下，他们不完美的计划受到一场完美风暴的考验。他们的截击器能否经受住这次考验？还是大自然会过早的扼杀这次拍摄？

Join the quest to film a tornado-from the inside. Obsessed filmmaker Sean Casey takes us on a mission to capture the world's first IMAX footage from within the vortex of a twister in Tornado Intercept. Joining the team is renowned meteorologist Dr. Josh Wurman. He and his squad of mobile Doppler radar trucks tag along with Sean to capture vital data from a tornado's destructive base and aid Sean in his search.
From the relative safety of a homemade tank known as the Tornado Intercept Vehicle (TIV), Sean and his team endure flying trees, downed power lines and frustrating technical malfunctions. Dr. Wurman guides the steel-plated TIV to one tornado after another but must battle unfamiliar terrain and uncooperative equipment along the way. As technology fails, the team resorts to strapping a horseshoe to the front of the TIV for luck.
Sean finally finds himself in the path of a mid-sized tornado, but the team's equipment fails again. With the tornado shrouded by rain and without precise data, the team's imperfect plan is put to the test by a perfect storm. Will the TIV hold up to the abuse or will Mother Nature call an early end to filming?
