Matchbox the Movie Soundtrack Overview
The Matchbox the Movie soundtrack is a 37-track album released digitally by Lakeshore Records on October 9, 2026. It arrived on the same day as the film’s Apple TV premiere.
The label describes the score as orchestral, balancing large-scale action with emotional moments. The album runs about 69 minutes and closes with a vocal cover by Marcus King.
Track titles such as “Desert Chase,” “Ambulance Chasers,” and “Bridge Chase” point to a score built around vehicle set pieces. Quieter cues like “Sad Discovery” and “Saying Goodbye” show the softer side.
Who Composed Matchbox the Movie Soundtrack?
The score was composed by Alex Belcher, a Kentucky native who studied at Belmont University and the Berklee College of Music. He has worked alongside composer Henry Jackman since around 2010.
Belcher built his résumé through additional-music and co-composer roles on large action and adventure films. His credits include Captain America: Civil War, the Kingsman films, Kong: Skull Island, and the Uncharted games.
He co-scored Extraction and Extraction 2 with Jackman, both directed by Sam Hargrave. Matchbox the Movie reunites him with Hargrave, and this time Belcher is credited as the solo composer.

Matchbox the Movie Score Highlights
“Desert Chase” (Track 3) is one of the album’s early action cues at 2:40. It was premiered ahead of the full release, which makes it a good first listen.
“The Matchbox Gang” (Track 2) introduces the film’s ensemble feel in under three minutes. It sets the playful, adventurous tone early in the album.
“The Gang’s All Here” (Track 22) is one of the longer score cues at 2:43. Its title suggests a team-up moment late in the story.
“Dropped My Gun” (Track 26) is the longest score cue on the album at 2:54. It is a good pick for anyone who wants the biggest action writing.
“Saying Goodbye” (Track 35) and “It’s Never Just a Car” (Track 36) wind the score down on a more reflective note before the closing song.
Matchbox the Movie Licensed Songs
The only confirmed licensed song on the album is “Workin’ for a Livin’” by Marcus King. It is a cover of the Huey Lewis and the News song and runs 4:13.
