GET YOUR JINGOISTIC NEO-CON MUSIC-DIRECTLY FROM CAPTIAN AMERICA.

Marvel Music's Captain America: Civil War original motion picture soundtrack will be available in physical and digital formats on Friday, May 6, 2016.  The soundtrack features music composed and produced by Henry Jackman ("Captain America: The Winter Soldier," "Captain Phillips" and "Big Hero 6").  Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" opens in U.S. theaters on May 6, 2016.

Marvel's "Captain America: Civil War" finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark's surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.
