Again, not quite nuanced enough. Zimmer’s “power anthem” style for contemporary action films, which is what this is about, got its first proper formulation in BLACK RAIN. Then he developed it throughout the early 90s until it reached its zenith with CRIMSON TIDE and THE ROCK, the latter being a supremely popular crossover soundtrack, far moreso than CRIMSON TIDE.

For me it was always BACKDRAFT although BLACK RAIN certainly already has elements.

Difficult topic because we certainly listend very differently to movies than “normal viewers”.
