Lalo Schifrin's thrilling orchestral score to the Eagle Has Landed, a classic WWII film starring Michael Caine, Donald Sutheralnd and Robert Duvall, reflects the obsession, danger, and growing urgency of the Nazi plot to kidnap Winston Churchill. The suspense grows with the repeated leitmotif stated by cimbalom, drums, strings and finally the entire orchestra as it follows the twists and turns of the dramatic action.
