"Rain Man" is a poignant drama about the journey of self-discovery and understanding that unfolds between two brothers, Charlie and Raymond Babbitt. When Charlie, a self-centered car dealer, learns that his estranged brother Raymond, an autistic savant, has inherited their father's fortune, he sets out to gain custody of him. The film is a deeply moving exploration of their relationship, highlighting Raymond's extraordinary talents and the growing bond between the siblings. 

The "Rain Man" soundtrack is a blend of original score composed by Hans Zimmer and various pop tracks that perfectly encapsulate the mood and setting of the film. Zimmer's innovative score, notable for its early use of synthesizers, is complemented by a selection of songs by various artists that add depth and a sense of the era to the movie's narrative. This combination of score and popular music from the 1980s makes the soundtrack a diverse and engaging listen.
