Pearl Harbor (2001) is a historical war drama directed by Michael Bay, depicting the events leading up to and following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II. The film follows a love triangle between two American fighter pilots, Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) and Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett), and a nurse, Evelyn Johnson (Kate Beckinsale), set against the backdrop of the devastating attack. While the film is visually striking, with intense action sequences and dramatic storytelling, it received mixed reviews for its historical inaccuracies and emphasis on romance over realism. However, it was praised for its stunning special effects and large-scale battle sequences.

The Pearl Harbor soundtrack, composed by Hans Zimmer, blends orchestral grandeur with emotional depth, perfectly complementing the film's themes of love, loss, and heroism. The score features sweeping melodies, powerful brass sections, and haunting choral arrangements, capturing both the intensity of war and the personal tragedies within it. The soundtrack’s most notable piece, "Tennessee," is a beautifully melancholic piano-driven theme that became one of Zimmer’s most beloved compositions. Additionally, Faith Hill’s song There You’ll Be served as the film’s main theme, achieving commercial success and adding a sentimental touch to the film’s romantic storyline.
