Motor City Soundtrack (2026): Every Song & When It Plays in the movie
In 1970s Detroit, John Miller falls for a local gangster's girl and lands in prison for a crime he didn't commit. With his life ruined, Miller plots revenge against the man who took his girl away.
Potsy Ponciroli’s 2026 gritty crime thriller Motor City captures the raw, industrial energy of 1970s Detroit with a heavily atmospheric soundtrack. The film combines a suspenseful original score by Steve Jablonsky with iconic hits of the era, tracking John Miller’s (Alan Ritchson) quest for vengeance after being framed for a crime he didn’t commit.
The movie's dramatic highlights are punctuated by classic 1970s rock, disco, and soul needle drops. Fleetwood Mac’s 'The Chain' underscores the chaotic police raid and arrest just after John proposes to Sophia (Shailene Woodley), while The Moody Blues' 'Nights in White Satin' soundtracks his high-stakes prison escape. Bill Withers' soul classic 'Lovely Day' also serves a crucial role during John's meeting with his parole officer.
