Watch: Fly across the Alps with Hans Zimmer's Score to David Attenborough's Planet Earth II

Step into a helicopter flying high above the Alps with this awe-inspiring short film shot during making of David Attenborough's Planet Earth II. In-flight music comes courtesy of the renowned film score composer Hans Zimmer, who has created the new soundtrack for the BBC One series.

This film was created by Justin Anderson, who produced and directed the Mountains episode of Planet Earth II. He says: “I was lucky enough this January to be filming helicopter aerials in the Alps and Mr Zimmer's score was always running in my mind. I wanted to explore cutting these inspiring images to Zimmer's Planet Earth suite. This is the result.”
