About ‘Music by John Williams’

With a resume spanning over 40 years, John Williams has earned five Academy Awards, three Emmys, and 26 Grammy Awards, establishing himself as one of the most celebrated composers in history. It’s hard to envision “Star Wars” without its epic fanfare or “Jaws” without its haunting, rhythmic theme. Williams has infused his magic into many timeless classics, elevating them to even greater heights.

This enchanting documentary on Disney+ features interviews with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, taking us back to the beginning. Before the 54 Oscar nominations, before Indiana Jones had his own iconic theme, and before we were captivated by E.T. soaring through the night sky, Williams’ influence has profoundly shaped the music and film industries. Few composers have had such a lasting impact on the sound of cinema as he has.
