Elliot Goldenthal scored the soundtrack Demolition Man: The Original Orchestral Score for the movie Demolition Man. It is an example of his off-beat style and use of unconventional techniques in film score, incorporating big brass clashes and complex, dramatic string arrangements.

It won Goldenthal an ASCAP award in 1994 for best original score and was his first big budget action film score.
