Running Man, The (OST) - Music By Steven Price

The official soundtrack album for Edgar Wright’s sci-fi action thriller, The Running Man. The album features the film’s original music composed by Academy Award winner Steven Price (Gravity, Last Night in Soho, Baby Driver).

Steven Price’s score for The Running Man is a dazzling mix of propulsive beats, gurgling synths, and traditional orchestral elements that fizz with invention and style. The central theme has an elegant, timeless quality, with lush, calming strings weaving a hypnotic melody. Contrast this with the tracks that accompany the game show segments, which are really fun, bombastic, and retro, and which again contrast with the more sinister, dystopian pieces scattered throughout.

Placed within the film, the music feels like another character pushing the story along. As a standalone listen, it is engaging, dynamic, and really fun, and it perfectly captures the many tones and moods of the film.
