Passengers is a 2016 blockbuster science fiction adventure film directed by Morten Tyldum (The Imitation Game) and written by Jon Spaihts. It stars Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, Laurence Fishburne and Andy García a.o. The story is about a malfunction in a sleeping pod on a spacecraft traveling to a distant colony planet that causes one passenger to wake up 90 years early.

The film has been nominated for two Oscars at the 89th Academy Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Production Design. The score is produced by multiple Grammy and Golden Globe winner Thomas Newman (American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption, 1917, Skyfall). Newman primarily used piano and electronic instrumentation for the 96-minute score, but occasionally expanded to a full orchestra, utilizing more than 60 string players and 13 brass musicians.
