Lightning: Fire from the Sky (2000)
Member Rating:  
A pair of deadly super-storms is set to collide over a Rutland, MO, and the only hope for the people of the small town is the trust a father places in his son in this elemental thriller that's sure to make Twister look like a dust devil. No one believes 14-year-old amateur meteorologist Eric Dobbs (Jesse Eisenberg) when he tries to convince them that their town is set to be leveled by the colliding storm systems, not even the National Weather Service. With time running short and winds picking up, Eric's father, Tom (John Schneider), takes his son's warning to heart when a series of supercharged electrical bursts plunge the town into darkness. As the sky darkens and the storm clouds roll in, it's up to Eric and his father to save the citizens of Rutland it's too late. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I really like these types of movies. My experience is real with storms especially lighting that's like strikes like satchel charges (bombs) going off. I larger budget would of made a better movie. I would watch it again.

The movie keeps your interest, but the script and acting is just so so. It is a definately rental movie quality not big screen. The new catastrophe type movie was interesting.....lightning being the villian. 3 stars from me. Trish

Yes   |   No


Donna K.

A pretty lame movie. The main plot is for the Andy & Opie like characters to team together and blow up the towns fuel depot, thus protecting the town from a lightning storm. As Goober would say, surprise, surprise, surprise. Really bad special effects.

Yes   |   No

This movie was just ok. The acting could have been better. It was bad in some spots and really unbelievable. Young kids may like it, but I did not care for it.
