After he gets out, he joins a New York-to-Los Angeles race to get revenge. But when the ex-partner learns of the scheme, he puts a massive bounty on the racer's head, forcing him to run a cross-country gauntlet of illegal racers in all manner of supercharged vehicles.

This guide provides the complete list of soundtrack songs and scene descriptions, along with details on the composers and music supervisors involved in the 2014 DreamWorks Pictures production.

Directed by Scott Waugh, the high-octane action film centers on a custom car builder and street racer who is framed by a wealthy business rival for a tragic accident during a race. After serving his prison sentence, he sets out on a cross-country mission to enter an exclusive underground race and exact justice. To echo the fierce velocity of the supercars and the open highway, the music team features propulsive upbeat tunes like modern rock remixes from Jamie N Commons and Aloe Blacc. These aggressive rhythms are juxtaposed with calmer background tunes, including electronic synth selections, during quiet roadside planning sessions.
