Metal Tornado

Metal Tornado is a 2011 science fiction, thriller television movie directed by Gordon Yang and starring Lou Diamond Phillips.

Helios World in Chester County, Pennsylvania design a system created by ex-employee Stephen Winters that can convert solar flares into electricity.

They run a test using the design from an array of satellites which converts solar flares into a magnetic beam which is directed towards their power station.

It is successful and stores it, but it forms a temporary magnetic field that sets off car alarms, but they don't think it was an issue.

In another scene, a man is riding and stops his motocross bike, but it flies into a magnetic energy vortex which expands.

15 miles away, Stan, a gas station owner sees the vortex (now resembling a tornado) and his glasses are pulled into it.

Michael meets Allysa Winters about the flaw; she tells him about a potential energy leak and hands over the documentation.

In Henderson town, Rebecca and Nick get caught in their car by the tornado and hide in a nearby church basement.

Walls of the church collapse and Nick saves Rebecca from falling debris, but fractures his leg in the process.

He thinks an EMP bomb may disrupt it, and they contact The Pentagon to arrange two drones to drop them into the tornado.

In France, the other team reports that a similar tornado is heading towards Paris, and tries to stop it with an EMP bomb as well.
