Tornado UK cinema date announcement

Following the announcement that the Glasgow Film Festival 2025 will open with the Gala World premiere of the survival thriller TORNADO, Lionsgate UK will release the film nationwide on Friday 23rd May.

The hotly-anticipated feature from Scottish director John Maclean stars Tim Roth, Jack Lowden, Takehiro Hira and Koki,

Set in the rugged landscape of 1790’s Britain, Tornado (played by model-songwriter Koki) finds herself caught in a perilous situation when she and her father’s travelling puppet show crosses paths with a ruthless criminal gang led by Sugarman (Pulp Fiction star Tim Roth) and his ambitious son Little Sugar (Slow Horses’ Jack Lowden). In an attempt to create a new life, Tornado seizes the opportunity to steal the gold from the gang’s most recent heist; what follows is a thrilling tale of adrenaline-fueled action as Tornado fights to escape a violent demise.

TORNADO will release nationwide across the UK and Ireland on Friday 23rd May.
