‘Tornado’ hits silver screen

Iranian movie ‘Tornado’ has appeared on the silver screen.

Directed by Javad Hashemi, the movie has premiered in Iranian theaters.

‘Tornado’ was initially expected to be ready in time for the 37th annual Fajr Film Festival; however the filmmakers decided to aim for a summer deadline instead.

Created for a teenage audience, the film’s storyline is about a professor who starts his own restaurant which ultimately turns into a spaceship.

A group of troublemaking teens come along, causing the spaceship to take off into space, and finally landing on a faraway planet.

Prominent actors Akbar Abdi, Kamran Tafti, Behnoush Bakhtiyari, Arsalan Qasemi and Elnaz Habibi are among the film’s cast.
