Jan de Bont Director

previously directed Speed

Bill Harding, played by Bill Paxton, returns to the world of storm chasing to secure a divorce so he can get remarried.

Trivia:

In order to get the background skies looking suitably stormy, the truck cab sequences had to be flooded with high-intensity lighting for contrast. As a result, Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton suffered minor retinal burns through much of the filming.
