Apollo 13 (soundtrack): History and Key Facts

Apollo 13: Music From The Motion Picture is the soundtrack to the 1995 film Apollo 13 featuring an original score composed, conducted and orchestrated by James Horner, and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony. The soundtrack was released on June 27, 1995, by MCA Records that compiled seven tracks of score, eight period songs used in the film, and seven tracks of dialogue by the actors at a running time of nearly 78 minutes.

The score was a critical success and was nominated for Best Original Dramatic Score at the 68th Academy Awards, along with Horner's other score for Braveheart, released at the same year. In 2019, the full score was released by Intrada Records at an expanded edition along with the original release, and remastered editions of Horner's full score.
