He’s the man behind the movie soundtrack bangers of the last 30 years. “Time” from Inception. “Cornfield Chase” from Interstellar. And “The Battle” from Gladiator. All of them can fill the largest of rooms, which partly explains why the German composer is following a September show at Resorts World Theater with a T-Mobile Arena performance a mere two weeks later.

But the other important quotient: the way those sweeping songs bring us right back to the movies they score — and where we were in our lives. Just ask anyone of Generations Y and Z their earliest musical memory. If they don’t say Zimmer’s “Circle of Life” from The Lion King, dinner’s on me.
