The 1996 hit 'Twister' was a major technical milestone, not just for its CGI tornadoes but for its audio. It was one of the first films to truly exploit the power of DTS (Digital Theater Systems) and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound. The sound designers mixed real recordings of jet engines and growling camels to create the 'voice' of the tornado. Audiences were captivated by the immersive experience of wind swirling around the theater. Grossing $494 million, 'Twister' proved that in the blockbuster era, the 'auditory spectacle' was just as important as the visual effects in creating a sense of scale and danger.
