Burt Reynolds fights the perfect storm in Category 5

Burt Reynolds in Category 5.

I’ve managed to miss that this one was in the works, but none other than Burt Reynolds headlines Category 5 along with C. Thomas Howell, Lisa Sheridan and Chelsea Kane.

The short synopsis that’s available informs us that

a series of disastrous geological coincidences occur creating a perfect storm scenario and forming the largest hurricane in human history. One family is derailed by a series of interconnected events while trying to survive the storm.

Head over to distributor Starz Media to check out the trailer, featuring tornado stock footage, lots of human drama and a somewhat frail looking Burt Reynolds as a gun-toting old codger who’s “not leaving this house”.

US release date April 1, according to IMDb.
