Explore the power of “Thunderheads,” premiering on DVD March 23 from Infinity Entertainment Group.
In a quest into the eye of the storm, a group of scientists, researchers and top-gun pilots – in seven planes and armed with the best high-tech gadgets money can buy – embark on a treacherous journey in a struggle to understand the role of thunderstorms in the global warming puzzle.
In this documentary, an international force of 250 experts who comprise I.C.E. (the International Cloud Experiment) converge on Darwin, Australia, the lair of “Hector,” one of the planet’s largest thunderstorms. As the pilots edge closer to the storm, they battle life-threatening turbulence, lightning, grapefruit-sized hail, microbursts, mysterious “gravity waves,” mechanical mishaps and more.
Price: $9.98.
