S.W.A.T. is the soundtrack score for the 2003 action film S.W.A.T., based on the 1970s TV series of the same name, composed by Elliot Goldenthal.
It is generally viewed as being another surprise project for Goldenthal, being that he usually gravitates towards more "intellectual" and "arthouse" type movies. Although he has done a few "commercial" action movie type scores in the past, the decision to score S.W.A.T. was nevertheless interesting,[1] [2] [3] and Goldenthal has developed a reputation for choosing unlikely projects, if anything, for the sheer fun of it.[2] In choosing to compose the score for S.W.A.T., Goldenthal—some have said—had played the "Media Ventures" (now known as Remote Control Productions) [4] [5] composers at their own game and won; creating an original, intense, yet complex and diverse score.[3]
