I was hoping to tap into the vast file-searching skills of forum members here. Here's a challenge for some of you:

From 'The Rock' (1996) , theres a piece of intro music which I was hoping to find but all the links I've managed to find are all broken links.

Heres a description of that scene from that film, it RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING of the film. We see 6 servicemen carrying a casket at dawn.


From the beginning of the movie, we hear exerpts of radio messages in a combat zone.
Soldier: - General Hummel! You have to get us outta here now!!
(music playing)
General Hummel: - I wont let you down! I wont let you down, son.
Soldier: - Goddammit sir! How long do we have to wait?? I´ve lost 15 men already!
(some screaming)
General Hummel: This is General Hummel, you have to get my men outta there!
Unknown: We dont have clearance to go behind enemy lines, sir!
Soldier: ...they´re not coming for us, are they sir? (sad poigant music)


Thanks if anyone can find me a wav or mp3 version of the sound file.

But a sample I heard was of a song titled "Hummel gets the rockets"
So there is obviously more on the album.

Thats exactly the right music.

"Hummel gets the rockets"

Its the piece I'm after!

Can someone tell me where to find it?

Can someone tell me where to find it?Uh... I just told you, the sound track album. Probably not available elsewhere.

Try Half.com, You can probably pick up a cd for cheap there.

If it helps, Hans Zimmer composed the song.
