James Horner: Ten Best Movie Soundtracks
2. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
With a smallish budget to play with for second Star Trek movie, director Nicholas Meyer turned for the music to the unknown Horner whose work he had heard on Battle Beyond the Stars.

It’s a fantastic soundtrack in which Horner first showcased the musical style and motifs that have characterized his extraordinarily lucrative career.
