Original Motion Picture Soundtrack composed and conducted by John Williams.
This puts it right up there with the 1959 Ben Hur, the 1960 The Alamo, the 1956 Around the World in 80 Days, and the 1960 Exodus. Where the movie bogs down is the center section where Roy tries to come to grips with his UFO phobia and fails miserably. Otherwise, Williams is at his best in this score, it compares favorably with the flying sequence in E. another Williams gem. Williams, who deservedly earns all his awards and nominations, may well be the most prolific motion picture composer of our time. The five note theme used as a way to communicate with the aliens is pure genius. The 12-minute sequence at the film's finale, is simply superb.
