13 Minutes
Short description
13 Minutes is set in the small American town of Minninnewah, where an ordinary morning is interrupted by the approach of a tornado larger than any previously recorded in the area. Residents have roughly thirteen minutes to reach shelter before the storm strikes. In the aftermath, four families must set aside their differences and rely on one another to get through.
The film was directed by Lindsay Gossling, who also wrote the screenplay and produced alongside Karen Harnisch and Travis Farncombe. It was made in Canada and the United States by Elevated Films and Involving Pictures. The cast includes Trace Adkins, Anne Heche, Yancey Arias, Thora Birch, Will Peltz and James Austin Kerr, among 36 credited performers and 49 credited crew members. It runs 109 minutes and blends action, drama and thriller elements.
13 Minutes was released on October 29, 2021. It received a critics' rating of 4.3/10 from 22 reviews, while audiences gave it 4.7/10 on IMDb from 4,795 votes and 5.8/10 on TMDB from 308 votes, so viewers were somewhat more favorable toward it than reviewers.
