Should you ever decide to make a high-octane glossy action Hollywood blockbuster and are looking for someone to compose a brassy and kickass soundtrack to complement the CGI wizardry and SceneryPorn on screen, German composer Hans Florian Zimmer (born September 12, 1957 in Frankfurt am Main) will be pretty high up on your list.

Zimmer initially started his career in 1977 as a session musician, working with artists ranging from NewWaveMusic group Music/TheBuggles to PunkRock outfit Music/{{The Damned|Band}}. Moving to London as a result of his studio work, he started cutting advertising jingles before partnering with film composer Stanley Myers, building the Lillie Yard recording studio and composing soundtracks for various independent films. In 1987, Zimmer got to produce Music/RyuichiSakamoto and Music/DavidByrne's score for ''Film/TheLastEmperor'', and this in turn set the stage for his breakthrough as the composer for ''Film/RainMan'' the following year. Since then, Zimmer has remained an in-demand film scorer for decades.

In addition to ''Rain Man'', Zimmer is most famous for his music for ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', ''Film/TheRock'', ''Film/CrimsonTide'', ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', ''Film/{{Gladiator}}'', Creator/ChristopherNolan's films and (for the gamers out there), the theme for ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare2'', among some 200 soundtracks he composed. Of course, he did other genres, but it's usually the big brass and violin numbers he wrote for action set pieces that get remembered.

Known for frequently working with directors Creator/RidleyScott, Creator/ChristopherNolan, Creator/GoreVerbinski, and Creator/ZackSnyder. Also, for having [[TheMentor trained a number of other composers]], including Mark Mancina, John Powell, Nick Glennie-Smith, Henry Jackman, Klaus Badelt, Music/SteveJablonsky, Music/LorneBalfe and for composing a number of animated films from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation. His Japanese equivalent is Music/YukiKajiura, known for her eclectic blends of synth with real instruments and soloists. He can also be viewed as the remixed modern day Music/EnnioMorricone.
