Tornado Alley:

Traversing the “severe weather capital of the world,” Tornado Alley documents two unprecedented missions seeking to encounter one of Earth's most awe-inspiring events – the birth of a tornado. Filmmaker Sean Casey's personal quest to capture the birth of a tornado with a 70mm camera takes viewers on a breathtaking journey into the heart of the storm. A team of equally driven scientists, the VORTEX2 researchers, experience the relentless strength of nature's elemental forces as they literally surround tornadoes and the super cell storms that form them, gathering the most comprehensive severe weather data ever collected. This science adventure reveals the beauty and the power of some of our planet's most extreme -- and least understood -- weather phenomena.

Sharks:

Presented by Jean-Michel Cousteau, Sharks is a breathtaking new IMAX theatre film experience that offers audiences an astonishing up-close encounter with the Lions and Tigers of the Ocean. Come face-to-face with a multitude of shark species, including the Great White, Hammerhead, and Whale Shark. Witness them as they really are: not wicked man-eating creatures, but wild, fascinating and endangered animals that have been in existence since a million years before dinosaurs roamed the earth. Join the expert team of ocean explorers that brought you Ocean Wonderland and Dolphins & Whales on this unique round-the-globe expedition documenting the life of the ultimate predator.

Lewis and Clark:

With careful research and meticulous recreations, National Geographic Films brings the amazing story of adventure, danger and the exploration of the unmapped West to the large screen in Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West. Narrated by Jeff Bridges.
