Damn, what an incredibly underrated and almost forgotten score by Jerry Goldsmith. One of his best. I have to give credit to Quentin Tarentino for bringing this score back into the consciousness of film/musical lovers, when he used the "Nicaragua" cue for "Django Unchained". Fantastic track. However, IMHO, Goldsmith's "Bajo Fuego" (with Pat Methany on classical/Spanish guitar) is the real stand-out, in this score. It starts at time-stamp 02:05.
As if proof were needed that this is a stunning score..................... this is an album you can put on and listen to from begining to end, then all you want to do, is do it all again. Bravo Maestro Goldsmith.
Goldsmith doesn't score the first 35 minutes (apart from a low key motif for the scene in Chad and a brief cue during the 'rebels' attempted abduction in the bar). It's a real shame that Goldsmith didn't get to score more films like this in the period 1975 to 1985. There are alternate cues on the LP/CD, including what I'm assuming is Goldsmith's preferred take on Price's photograph session with Raphael. Since I was too young in 1983 to see the film in the cinema (and monthly film magazines were the only source of info about soundtrack's) I missed a chance to buy the LP since I had no idea what the music was like until I saw the film on VHS in 1985 (and taped it on cassette from the TV speaker). I do think this score should have won the Oscar. Tom Conti's 'The Right Stuff' is a very good score, but 'Under Fire' is something really special.
+Numinous20111 bill conti the right staff soundtrack won the oscar becouse the movie was more about American "history" i like the soundtrack of the 2 movies, they have great soundtrack the 2 of them
One of the best film scores ever written.
This is a perfect example of why I love Jerry Goldsmith
wonderful… Jerry Goldsmith, we miss you so much…
Excelent

Una meravigliosa colonna sonora degna di un grande compositore
