Flashpoint is a soundtrack album by the German band Tangerine Dream for the 1984 film Flashpoint starring Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams.^[3]

A CD version was released in 1984 on the Heavy Metal label but was soon recalled due to pressing errors that rendered the CD unplayable. The soundtrack was not released on CD again until 1995, making it very rare. The entire album was released as part of the bootleg Mystery Tracks (1993).^[4]
