News summary

The production of the 1996 blockbuster 'Twister' was marred by chaos, culminating in a dramatic confrontation between producer Steven Spielberg and director Jan de Bont. Stunt coordinator Mic Rodgers recounted that tensions escalated when de Bont shoved a camera assistant, leading to a mass walkout by the crew. Following this incident, Spielberg flew to the set in Norman, Oklahoma, and reportedly berated de Bont for about 15 minutes from the steps of his private jet, without ever stepping onto the ground. Despite the turmoil, 'Twister' became a significant success, grossing $495 million worldwide. The sequel, 'Twisters,' was released nearly three decades later and has been performing well at the box office. The production challenges included unpredictable weather and multiple injuries, underscoring the difficulties faced by the cast and crew during filming.
