The Code 8 Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies the 2019 Canadian science‑fiction action film Code 8, directed by Jeff Chan and written by Chan and Chris Paré. The official score was composed by Ryan Taubert, whose music blends electronic soundscapes with dramatic orchestral textures to match the film’s near‑future setting, emotional beats, and intense action sequences. The soundtrack supports both the gritty atmosphere of the city and the inner struggles of the characters as they navigate a world where powered individuals are marginalized.
The soundtrack album was released digitally on December 13, 2019 by Back Lot Music / Marv Music and features 20 original score tracks composed by Taubert. The track list includes cues such as Triage, They Come for You, Fetch, Break In, Contact, Gus & Connor, Ford & Pierce, Conflict, Hector, and Resolution, each accentuating different facets of the film’s narrative arc.
In addition to the original score, Code 8 incorporates licensed songs in select scenes that help build its urban sci‑fi tone, though these tracks are not part of the official score album release.
