My favorite film is Tornado. The scientists are doing research on tornadoes.
Not sure what you mean by the next sentence. I haven't seen the movie. Was a boy killed by a tornado? Was he outside filming?

My favorite film is Tornado.
The scientists are doing research into tornados.
The definite article can be used but it depends on the context -
A tornado is a very dangerous natural phenomenon. (Singular general reference)
The tornado knocked down every house for miles. (Singular specific reference)
