The Retirement Plan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) accompanies the 2023 action-comedy film The Retirement Plan, directed by Tim Brown and starring Nicolas Cage, Ashley Greene, Ron Perlman, Jackie Earle Haley, and Ernie Hudson. The original score was composed by Roger Suen, known for his work on Blue Bayou, Gook, Ms. Purple, Spy Intervention, and Love in Taipei. Suen’s score for The Retirement Plan blends energetic orchestral action cues with lighter, character-driven themes that support the film’s mix of humor and high-stakes set pieces.
The soundtrack album was released digitally on December 12, 2025, via Notefornote Entertainment and is available on major platforms including Apple Music and other streaming services. The Original Motion Picture Score contains 35 tracks of Suen’s composed music, with a total runtime of approximately 80 minutes. Physical editions, including CD or vinyl, have not been widely reported beyond digital distribution.
The music’s sound is rooted in dynamic orchestral scoring that emphasizes rhythmic momentum and thematic development, with cues ranging from playful to suspenseful. Suen’s compositions support the film’s comedic tone and action beats, using layered instrumentation and varied motifs to reflect narrative shifts from chase sequences to humorous character interactions.
The film also features licensed songs used in key scenes — including Blondie’s “The Tide Is High,” John Lee Hooker’s “Crazy About That Walk,” and Sam Roberts’ “Where Have All the Good People Gone?” — which are not part of the official score album but appear in the motion picture.
