The Hunt For Red October (film) - Soundtrack

Soundtrack

The original soundtrack for The Hunt for Red October comprises 10 melodies written by Basil Poledouris. The soundtrack is missing some of the musical moments present in the film, including the scene where the crew of Red October sings the Soviet national hymn. The soundtrack is limited due to the fact that it was originally compiled to fit the Compact Cassette. Later, it was remastered for the CD.

The songs have a truly Cold War theme, and bear similarity to Russian Army band songs. The soundtrack is however, originally composed for the film.

1. "Hymn To Red October"

   By far the most famous song in the soundtrack. It is often mistaken for an original Red Army song, and is sometimes referred to as the "Hymn of the Russian Navy"

2. "Nuclear Scam"
3. "Putin's Demise"
4. "Course Two-Five-Zero"
5. "Ancestral Aid"
6. "Chopper"
7. "Two Wives"
8. "Red Route I"
9. "Plane Crash"
10. "Kaboom!!!"
