CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Created as a soundtrack for a 1988 HBO film, Steal the Sky is a serviceable assortment of cues, mood-setters, and atmospheric backdrops designed to embellish an action-romance plot linked to the Six-Day Arab-Israeli War of the late 1960s. The music (more action than romance) is clearly the servant of the story as assorted themes surface, then swiftly change or vanish altogether--typical of a traditional soundtrack. Some splendid moments make brief appearances here, particularly a 90-second segment of progressions that begin about seven minutes into the seventh track. Earnest Yanni fans hoping to unearth something rare and wonderful in this musical footnote from the keyboardist's past may be disappointed; this is a decent but not essential recording. Newcomers should investigate Live at the Acropolis or Reflections of Passion. --Terry Wood Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsExciting sound track music with the Yanni touch. Neal C. Reynolds | Indianapolis, Indiana | 08/29/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "One probably would expect Yanni to emphasize the romantic aspect of a movie more than the action and suspense elements, but that's not the case here at all. Much is said in the music. Much of it has an ominous counterpoint to it which helps keep a viewer entranced. Especially good here is the "Stealing the Jet" sequence. However, the entire soundtrack is good listening. The bonus track, the Beatles' "Nowhere Man" played by an Arabic ensemble during a Baghdad party scene does hit an odd note. But this is good movie scoring." BEN CROSS OFFERS ANOTHER STRONG PERFORMANCE A. GRECO | FREEHOLD, NEW JERSEY, USA | 01/11/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "STEAL THE SKY IS AN EXCITING MOVIE ABOUT AN AMERICAN SPY (MURIEL HEMINGWAY) WHO SEDUCES A MIDEAST PILOT (BEN CROSS). DURING THIS SEDUCTION AND BETRAYAL, SHE DOES FALL IN LOVE WITH THE MARRIED PILOT. WHEN HE DISCOVERS THE TRUTH, IT IS TOO LATE FOR HIM. HE MUST STEAL A MIG AND FLY TO ISRAEL OR BE FOUND OUT AND KILLED BY HIS OWN GOVERNMENT AS A TRADER. ADDING TO THE EXCITEMENT IS MURIEL HEMINGWAY'S FIGHT TO GET HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN SAFELY TO ISRAEL TO MEET HIM IF HE IS SUCCESSFUL IN FLYING OUT THE MIG. BEN CROSS DELIVERS A STRONG AND BELEIVABLE PERFORMANCE AS THE PILOT TORN BETWEEN COUNTRY, FAMILY, LOVE AND BETRAYAL." Very good fast film Don | Westchester | 11/09/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a very fine film with great music. Good acting although a bit dated. Very provocative retelling of a true story of a woman spy who seduces an Arab pilot to get him to fly new technology into Israel. Very interesting piece if Israeli and middle East history. Fast paced."
