Terminator: Dark Fate (Music from the Motion Picture) is the soundtrack album to the 2019 film of the same name directed by Tim Miller, featuring musical score composed by Tom Holkenborg in his second collaboration with Miller after Deadpool.^[1] The film is the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise, and a follow-up to Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), ignoring the events that occurred in the other installments , post James Cameron's return and creative control to the franchise after directing the first two installments . The film stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Sarah Connor and the T-800 Terminator, respectively, reuniting the actors after 23 years.

Holkenborg wrote the film's music for nearly a year, to study on the first two films and also pay homage to Brad Fiedel's musical work in those films. He produced the album with varied musical styles, including a Latino-infused approach for the "Terminator" theme and working on a range of instruments: both acoustic and electronic, as well as sounds originated from real-life objects. He also added orchestral music in few emotional sequences, while limited its use throughout the film.

The album was released on November 1, 2019 under the Paramount Music label, to positive response praising Tom Holkenborg's composition, instrumentation and the homage to the iconic Terminator themes, created by Brad Fiedel. It was released in vinyl by Mondo on February 21, 2020.^[2]
