Moneyball (soundtrack)
The Moneyball soundtrack is the accompanying music released in conjunction with the 2011 biographical sports drama film Moneyball, directed by Bennett Miller and starring Brad Pitt. The film tells the story of Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane's attempt to assemble a competitive baseball team using sabermetrics.
The soundtrack primarily consists of rock and alternative rock songs, featuring tracks from artists such as Bob Dylan, Lenny Kravitz, Vance Joy, and Dan Auerbach. While there is no official score release, the soundtrack includes licensed songs carefully chosen to complement the film's themes of innovation, perseverance, and the underdog spirit. The music serves to enhance the emotional impact of key scenes and highlight the historical context of the early 2000s. The absence of a traditional orchestral score distinguishes the Moneyball soundtrack from many other film soundtracks, opting instead for a collection of pre-existing songs.
