- Here's Horner's wonderfully bouncy sci-fi adventure theme from the cult 1980 Roger Corman-produced flick. It was Horner's first real score, and remains a favorite of mine. Enjoy!

![James Horner - Battle Beyond The Stars - Theme [Extended & Remastered by Gilles Nuytens]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/uT3mOb6-h4E/mqdefault.jpg)
I still consider this to be James Horner's best score. It is an amazing piece from a time of amazing pieces.
I love both Battle Behind the Stars & Space Raiders having same score ❤❤❤
One of Horner's best Fantasy movie themes. Along with Krull, Willow, Cocoon, Aliens & Wrath of Khan its one of my favorites .
This one and Krull are two of my most faves by him.
Couldn’t agree more, they don’t make them like this anymore
Hay, it may not have been STAR WARS quality, but it was still damn fun!
I personally find Star Wars overrated...especially the past 20 years.
*hides*
I listen to this regularly. I love his ability to use the French Horns. Sadly missed. RIP Sir.
John Boy Walton, Napoleon Solo, and Cnl. Hannibal Smith...I love this film! Whenever times get bad, whenever people mean to do you harm, when things look bleak, remember: what does The Varda teach us?
I watched this film when it opened in 1980. During the opening fanfare I knew that James Horner would become a major film composer. He was the only person when I was a young man whom I wanted to be. While I never wrote a full-length film score, I did manage to write excerpts and produce it with a full-size symphony orchestra. The movies will not be the same without James Horner's music. He had that much impact on the industry.
+Marc Parella Honer had that wild, energetic epic and romantic vibration like few composers before him. His death was a tragic loss for us, fans of his work since the begining.
+gilsonlcunha I saw this movie in the theater also back in 1980. I always enjoyed this campy fun film. I think the actors all had fun making this film.
This movie was also James Cameron's break into special effects. Aka the guy behind Terminator 2.
Losing Michael Kamen was a heavy blow to me, but James Horner was devastating. We need to get bodyguards for Hans Zimmer.
I listened to this and I hear a lot of Wrath Of Khan in it.
It is amazing how someone starts out so small, and ends his career so hugely having done so many films--in case it's not clear it's James Horner. You can hear a little bit of Krull and Star Trek II already here.
RIP James Horner. Your talents are missed in this world.
One of my favorite movies. Its one of those that make a big impact as a kid. I was 9 when this came out. Another for me is The Black Hole.
James Horner is amazing, I can hear Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan, III, and IV in this song. Love his style.
Ah...Early Horner. I have a perpetual soft spot for this movie and its score! Good stuff! I'll take Early Horner to his later stuff, though his music to Aliens rocked, but this and Star Trek II: the Wrath of Khan remain my absolute, all time favorite Horner scores.
I wish he'd go back to his older days. They're Zimmering him. People like him aren't able to show their talent and creativity anymore. Aliens is amazing. Futile Escape is a crowning achievement.
Wrath of khan is legit. Top notch score.
I remember watching this when I was a kid in the early 80's, sat and watched it over and over when it came on, the soundtrack for this and Krull showed Horner's greatness early on. It was kind of fitting, this was Horner's first real score, and this movie was a loose sci-fi remake of The Magnificent Seven, and the last film he worked on the soundtrack for was the 2016 remake of The Magnificent Seven. R.I.P.
It's hard to believe that James Horner was only twenty five when he wrote this soundtrack... It is one of my favourite film scores of his.
both movie and soundtrack deserve wider recognition
James Horner will live forever through his music
I remember when my friend gasped at the gorgeous romantic string segment that comes from nowhere. It's a great preview of what was to come, like Krull, and Star Trek II which echo through it across time. I enjoyed James Horner's music for Humanoids from the Deep so much, I still have the album! -The Roger Corman days before the Oscar for Titanic, and the music for Braveheart.
Yes, very Trekkie! A fine score indeed - and derivative in the best sense. Horner has always been very eclectic: lots of Jerry Goldsmith in this! and just a pinch of John Williams - and, of course, Prokofiev! Love the French horns!
Wow, the more you listen to this the easier it is to notice the sour notes. I still love it though. This is raw Horner and it shows you he had a lot of potential at the time. Humanity is truly blessed to have had James Horner.
For a Roger Corman movie, this theme is awesome
A great theme and soundtrack from a long list of incredible soundtracks composed by this brilliant artist and composer. In an industry of giant music soundtrack masters, James Horner brought his own flare and dramatics to the movies he's touch w/his legendary and breathtaking themes and songs. One among many, but forever unique, Vaya Con Dios James Horner RIL =(
Awesome theme
I watched this movie as a kid - everthing was better then
I love humans. I just wish they'd love each other as much as I do. And James Horner. of course. peace to each and every one of you. breathe. nice right? Now try a handshake!
ONE THE BEST COMPOSERS OF THE MODERN SCI FI FANTASY MOVIE GENRE R.I.P
Noticed they recently put the movie up on Netflix..really takes me back, shows how much impact a score can have on a movie.. Always a James Horner fan, can just get lost in his work.
Jim Horner. We owe you so much. Your an unknown cornerstone of American pop culture. Here's to you. Genius. Visionary. Dreamer. and seer of ... cool.. music..... things.
This score and the complete Star Trek II score are the reason why resp. Battle beyond the Stars and The wrath of Khan are enjoyable to watch....James Horner (still) is one of the best...
Amazing that Horner could do this out of the Gates.....and odd how it Still to this Day remains My Favorite..
Who as a small boy in 1980 upon hearing this theme would not have stormed the Gates of Heaven? We all wanted to be those heroes, and were thus in our dreams-Shad, Cowboy, Gelt, Cayman and his crew, Nestor, and even Zed the Corsair. There were even roles for the girls-Nanelia and Saint-Exmin not the least because we all needed bandaging after our adventures. We by school year classes took it in daily turns to be Sador and his mutants, and we spent the weekends remembering how we shot one another down in chases that only existed in film and our imagination. What a time to be alive. Where are such heroes now?
OMG, this takes me back to childhood!!
I always hear traces of Wrath of Khan in this and Search for Spock
Actually it's "The Search For Spock". It has all the elements. Since it was the precursor to the Trek film being made, it's not surprising. I do really like this soundtrack. It's complex melody is sweeping threaded chords, swirling, climbing, flying.... I'm no music major, but this orchestral piece is moving emotionally.
James Horner made this score before Star Trek 2 and 3. Battle Beyond the Stars was the first movie he composed music for and I think he did a good job too. I like this theme and movie.
***** you can also hear a bit of Star Trek 2 in the Rocketeer, but that's OK with me. James Horner made a great score with that movie.
I also hear a touch of Krull here and there.
Actually you can here hear multiple themes from multiple movies in all the scores he did, which is a bit of a running joke I think ( said with the greatest fondness )
RIP james horner
Always loved Horner's work.
Thanks! It's one of my absolute favourites too.
R I P Robert Vaughn who played Gault in the movie..
This was a space opera remake of the Magnificent 7, which Vaughn also starred in.
Metzger Wickersham
Gelt!!
@@mylordmudd61 I would love to see what they could do today, with modern CGI. This film was hampered by the visuals, even though the story was amazing.
I think my first exposure to Horner was Battle Beyond the Stars. I watched that movie SOOOOO many times on HBO. EVERY time I knew it was coming on, I HAD to be there for the beginning. This was very likely the first time I became addicted to music. The score to this movie, the intro in particular, still excites me and makes me all giddy.
Great basis for the Star Trek films with them being the polished versions. I love it.
I miss scores like these. We haven't had a good one like this since The Lord Of The Rings. I miss the 80s and 90s altogether.
I loved this movie as a kid! and i had NO idea it had the trademark work of HORNER!!! and Cameron as well. amazing!!!
RIP James Horner, so epic!
I never saw this as a kid, caught it for the first time last week and thought the soundtack sounded a lot like Krull, now it makes sense why.
I loved this show it was fun to watch and it had some serious fight scenes that little ship could take a beating.
Childhood memories this movie brings me
Definitely. I can hear a lot of what he did in Star Trek II.
This one was first
Joooohnboy Innnnnn Spaaaaaaaace!!!
:) lol
love James Horner. This is a blast from the past for me. There was one other movie that was like this. It had the same ship and and it was piloted by a bunch of pirates and I remember a kid stowed away on the ship...I just cant remember the name of the movie.
Space Raiders. Both films used to be on a lot during the school holidays here in the UK when I was growing up. Space Raiders always stuck in my head because we also had a cheap brand of crisps called Space Raiders (not associated with the film, but had Space Pirates on the packaging. The leader had a Ziggy Stardust thing going on). What I used to spend my pocket money on!
Happy days.
WOW I did not know James Horner did this. THX
The basis of all awesome sci-fi themes.
@ScottishGeordie39 I realize I'm responding to you a little late but, that was Battlestar Galactica they used in Airplane 2.
James Horner composes sum of the most beautiful scores
I think the first time I heard this song was on Wizards of the Lost Kingdom, then this. Still enjoy listening to it, very nostalgic.
This was in the trailer for the unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four film.
Also the trailer to "Sorceress" from 1982
@Traumtanzer I stumbled across BBTS on Netflix Streaming on Sunday night. Watched a little bit that night, and then the whole thing from the beginning on Monday evening. First time in more than 20 years that I'd seen the whole thing .... and it was even better than I remembered. :)
My childhood in music. And then the rocketeer for my teenage years.
Took me hours to remember the name of the movie, but here it is.
One of my favorite movie scores.... like Wrath of Khan....scores that are greater than the actual movies although I like these movies anyway...
この頃のスペースオペラのサントラは本当に素晴らしいよ！
Great soundtrack!
You're kidding me right!? Roger Corman used this same music as the trailer for "Fantastic Four (1994)" . Holy crap ! XD
Bonez N Tonez I agree ☝️
Those French horns give me goose bumps.
I saw this film when it came out and I think the score is what helped one through the film. A fine sci-fi adventure soundtrack for a not too good sci-fi film (although still a fond favourite)
i never saw battle beyond the stars, but i love the works of james horner. i first heard this piece in the background music for the trailer to the never relaesed 1990 version of rodger corman's fantastic four. Then i found out it was the music to space raiders, then i found out it was a horner piece ( i guess thats why i gavitated to it.) then i found out that it is the soundtrack to batte beyond the stars. i'm confused, but i love this music and must get on cd. Horner rocks!!!!
A movie that was so bad it was awesome with an absolutely kick ass soundtrack (just like Flash Gordon). Love this. And +1 for the spaceship with tits!
I prefer Horner's 80s scores to anything else he did, (Krull, Cocoon, Star Trek 2) they had a sense of magic about them. I guess it's probably a biased view though because I grew up watching those movies.
Awesome!
I sure I heard this theme in a trailer for a low budget Conan the Barbarian style movie.
this sound track is an Here's Horner classic
Awesome
I wish this song played every time I poop.
One of the local radio stations used t his for one of their promos back in the day.
Why don’t they make movie themes like this anymore?
Hans. Zimmer.
I like this it's got a Bit of Krull's Romance theme and a bit of Enterprise leaves Space Dock - kind sound and also a bit of the ocean sailing feel his work seems to have.
This music is wonderful! I haven't seen the movie but it reminds me a lot to The Wrath of Khan, which I guess was the next score he composed after this one
James Horner wasn't nominated until 1986. He received a Best Original Score nomination for Aliens and a Best Original Song nomination for "Somewhere Out There" from An American Tale. I was disappointed that he didn't receive a nomination for his music to Cocoon(1985), despite the fact that it had an almost literal twenty second quote from Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Kahn. Nonetheless, they had neglected him for too long.
I only learned of hatred towards Horner's style today. People call him lazy. I have to say, his scores were stars in their own right and if it wasn't for those scores these older movies would lack that magic. That's what Horner made when he composed these: Magic.
Hans Zimmer is uber-lazy if Horner is lazy.... Everyone creams over Zimmer, but I find him extremely repetative...
This was Horner's first score? What a way to start!
I remember a bit of this score was nicked and used on Airplane 2: the sequel.
Started off with this theme for a Sci-fi Magnificent Seven in Space and ended his career with doing the theme for the Magnificent Seven remake. Full Circle Mr. Horner RIP.
It's on heck of an opening music score isn't it?
We recorded the bulk of that score in two days, in a small studio in No Hollywood. The conductor was David Newman.
This music was also used for a film called space raiders starring Vince Edwards
@dude75able Thank you. That was also a very cheesy, yet very cool, movie. Again, thanks for the reply.
Battle Beyond The Stars - Star Trek 2 - Krull... so similar
@Timothy Mckee lol
I agree wholeheartedly
Same composer
Horner was a master. If it aint broke dont fix it.
Spoken like a true ignoramus of film composition. A simpleton.
Legendary composer
I was thinking the same thing, it sounds very close to Star Trek 2 and 3.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤👍
Not sure how Corman got Horner to do it... but he wrote this excellent scifi theme song for him... as well as the theme to his STARCRASH... which is also excellent
A Battle Beyond Space Beyond Time
Oh yeah, this is probably one of my favourite scores. Roger Corman may have been a skin-flint tight-wad who shamelessly resued footage in movie after movie, but he sure knew how to pick his composers
Very Good. It should have been the score for new Star Trek movie.
i can't believe how in the late 70s and 1980s, even shitty b-movies had spectacular scores
The final battle in wizards of the lost kingdom. I always remember kor cutting down many black knights in one on one combat, nothing overly Hollywood, just a guy doing his job for the side he was fighting for.
Nell, science fictions most buxom starship
It was intentional that it looked the way it did, Afterall Zed had been a corsair, A privateer of sorts.
Who'd have thought that, much later, the same composer would write the Scores for the two highest-grossing Movies ever?
Main theme to firestar
I just heard Star Trek in it
Also listen to another of Horner's scores at thattime "Krull", there are some similarities.
Yep, Space Raiders, 3 years use the same models, and even in 1995, there was a film regarding bounty hunters and pleasure androids, can't remember the name, but it, too, reused the same footage and models.
@WickyWoo1 just like his score for COMMANDO was just 48 HRS. with steel drums.
LAAAZOOMEEN!
