Mosley, Daniel Riordan and Philip Bruns.Released in 1994, PENTATHLON tells the story of Eric Brogar (Lundgren), an Olympic athlete born in East Germany before the Berlin Wall fell, who dreams of a better life. Brogar has been training for the Pentathlon, a combination of five sporting events (shooting, swimming, fencing, horse-back riding and cross-country running), first devised by Pierre de Coubertin, the man responsible for creating the modern version of the Olympics. de Coubertin believed these skills were essential training for soldiers in the 19th century. Now, competing in the Pentathlon at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea, Eric wins the Gold Medal and uses the opportunity to escape from his Stasi secret police minders at the airport. Despite being shot in the leg, Brogar manages to reach the bus of the United States team and request asylum.His joy in succeeding, however, is short lived. Settling in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Julia (Coleman), also an athlete, Brogar descends into an angry depression when the Berlin Wall finally comes down and he realizes that he never needed to defect. After losing his temper and busting up a local bar, Julia leaves him. Over the next four years, Brogar’s life continues to spiral out of control. He winds up working as a short order cook for John Creese (Mosely) and has gotten so out of shape, he can’t even defend himself against an assault from three puny punks. When Brogar doesn’t show up for work one day, Creese comes to his apartment and inadvertently discovers Brogar’s Olympic past. Taking pity on him, Creese offers to become his trainer and whip him back into shape. Unknown to Brogar, his former coach, Heinrich Muller (Soul) is no longer an athletic trainer and has transitioned into the leadership of a Nazi terrorist group.

「ハード・トゥ・キル」のブルース・マルムース監督、「ユニバーサル・ソルジャー」のドルフ・ラングレン主演による1994年のアクション・バイオレンス映画『ソルジャーゴールド』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックが世界初リリース！音楽は『エクスタミネーター２』のデヴィッド・スピア。
トラックリスト1994年に公開された『ソルジャーゴールド』は、ベルリンの壁崩壊前の東ドイツに生まれ、より良い人生を夢見るオリンピック選手、エリック・ブロガー（ラングレン）の物語である。五種競技とは、射撃、水泳、フェンシング、乗馬、クロスカントリーの5つの競技を組み合わせたもので、現代版オリンピックを創設したピエール・ド・クーベルタンが初めて考案した。さて、1988年韓国ソウルオリンピックの五種競技に出場したエリックは金メダルを獲得し、この機会に空港でシュタージ秘密警察の監視から逃れる。足を撃たれながらも、ブロガーはなんとかアメリカチームのバスにたどり着き、亡命を願い出る。
しかし、成功の喜びもつかの間。同じくアスリートであるガールフレンドのジュリア（コールマン）とロサンゼルスに居を構えたブロガーは、ベルリンの壁がついに崩壊し、亡命する必要などなかったことに気づいたとき、怒りの鬱状態に陥る。キレて地元のバーを破壊した後、ジュリアは彼のもとを去る。その後4年間、ブロガーの人生は制御不能に陥る。ジョン・クリース（モズリー）のもとでコックとして働くことになった彼は、体型が崩れ、3人のチンピラからの暴行から身を守ることすらできなくなっていた。ある日、ブローガーが仕事に現れなかったため、クリースが彼のアパートを訪れ、うっかりブローガーのオリンピックの過去を知ってしまう。彼を不憫に思ったクリースは、トレーナーになって体型を戻したいと申し出る。ブロガーの知らないところで、彼の元コーチ、ハインリッヒ・ミュラー（ソウル）はもはやアスレチック・トレーナーではなく、ナチスのテロリスト集団の指導者に転身していた。部下を引き連れてロサンゼルスに到着したミュラーは、訪問中のドイツ大使を暗殺し、ブロガーに復讐するつもりだった。
