movie soundtrack

Cinema's musical accompaniment

A movie soundtrack is the recorded music accompanying a film, including the musical score composed specifically for it and any songs featured in it.

The term can refer to the audio heard in the film itself or to an album collecting that music: I listen to the Pulp Fiction soundtrack all the time.

Soundtrack alone usually means the same thing.
