Today, Warner Bros. unveiled the official plot synopsis for The Dark Knight Rises, as well as new 60-second samples of Hans Zimmer’s score. The synopsis was revealed via the film’s official website, and the longer, minute-long score samples were posted on the WaterTower Music site. Check out the synopsis below:

It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.

But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.

To check out the score samples, head over to WaterTower Music. The soundtrack will be released on July 17th and is currently available for pre-order at Amazon. The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters and IMAX on July 20th.
