Description
The Rock is a 1996 American action thriller film. Hans Zimmer was one of the principal composers, In the film, an FBI chemist and a former SAS captain are tasked with stopping a group of dishonest US Force Recon Marines who have seized Alcatraz Island, taken hostages, and threatened to launch rockets filled with nerve gas over San Francisco unless they are paid $100 million.
The Rock typifies the bigger-is-better film scoring sensibilities that defined Hollywood in the mid-'90s -- with its bombastic electronics, constant bass, and eruptions of dissonance, the music is an overwhelming sensory experience, and virtually impossible to absorb over the course of a single sitting.
