 Among the leitmotifs of his score are a romantically dark, yet lush heroic melodical main theme for the protagonist, which is accompanied by several secondary themes.For the antagonist, rather than a fully developed theme, Goldsmith used a musical effect in horns and synthesizers imitating a howling sound, a technique that would later echo in his scores for "The Edge" and "The Ghost and the Darkness".Camille Saint-Saëns's 1872 composition ""Le Rouet d'Omphale"" ("Omphale's Spinning Wheel"), which introduced the radio show, is not used in the film's score.
