The soundtrack album was released May 11, 1984 on the Warner Bros. label. All music was composed by Randy Newman.
Randy Newman's dramatic, Academy Award nominated score has often been compared to the style of Aaron Copland and sometimes Elmer Bernstein. Scott Montgomery, writing for Goldmine music magazine, referenced the influence, and David Ansen, reviewing the film for Newsweek, called the score "Coplandesque." The score also has certain Wagnerian features of orchestration and use of Leitmotif. Adnan Tezer of Monsters and Critics noted the theme is often played for film and television previews and in "baseball stadiums when introducing home teams and players." It was also used in the John McCain presidential campaign in 2008, when introducing Sarah Palin.
