15 Best Hans Zimmer Film Soundtracks

15. Rush

A criminally underrated soundtrack from a criminally underrated film, Han Zimmer's Rush score encapsulates the seventies setting and themes of rivalry.

Directed by Ron Howard, the drama follows the true story of the battle of the 1976 Formula 1 season between James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl). The soundtrack is inspired by the rock and roll music of the decade including songs by the likes of David Bowie and Thin Lizzy. It is both as thrilling and triumphant, as it lonely and melancholic, representing the conflicting emotions of both main characters.

Best Track: Lost But Won

Played over the final race and epilogue, if ever a piece of music summed up what it's like to be in or watch a F1 race, this is it.
