Composer: Eric Serra

The soundtrack to Léon: The Professional (1994), directed by Luc Besson and starring Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman, was composed by Eric Serra, a frequent collaborator with Besson on films like The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita, and The Fifth Element. Serra’s score mixes moody orchestral writing with his trademark electronic textures, giving the story of the hitman Léon and the young Mathilda both intimacy and tension.

Pieces such as “Shape of My Heart” by Sting, which plays over the closing credits, became iconic, echoing through later films like Don Juan DeMarco and Three of Hearts. The soundtrack balances suspenseful cues like “Noon” and “Fatman” with delicate, emotional themes that highlight the unlikely bond at the film’s center. Released by TriStar Pictures, the album sits alongside other 1990s crime-drama soundtracks such as Elliot Goldenthal’s Heat, Michael Kamen’s Die Hard with a Vengeance, and Hans Zimmer’s True Romance.
