The scene I chose was the "Sandstorm" chase scene in Mission Impossible. The main character is chasing the antagonist while having his vision almost completely obscured by a sandstorm. We don't have much vision of the antagonist at all, and we must rely on the clips of him viewing his radar for us to "know" that he's near his target.
After the first gunshot around 0:35 main character loses his target and the chase music dissipates. Once he views the radar, confirms his locations, and restarts the chase, the music resumes and sets an urgent tone. The sound helps us understand how important it is for him to catch his target, and without the music, we're left with a guy running & driving blindly through a sandstorm with no sense of his progress.
The music also changes drastically around 3:00, once the character has affirmed a new plan in his head (which the audience can quickly grasp). Clips keep switching between him driving, and the radar displaying the two arrows moving towards each other, with the music constantly building up. The music ends right before the two cars crash into each other, and signal that the action has ended.
