About the Composer(s)
Max Aruj is an American film and television composer based in Los Angeles, known for his high-stakes orchestral scores, electronic soundscapes, and driving action music. Trained under renowned composer Lorne Balfe and a veteran of Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions, Aruj built a strong foundation contributing additional music to major Hollywood blockbusters including Mission: Impossible – Fallout, Top Gun: Maverick, The Lego Batman Movie, Ad Astra, and Pacific Rim: Uprising.
As a primary composer, Aruj has written original scores for feature films such as The Ice Road, the biographical crime drama Lansky, the Netflix sci-fi thriller iBoy, and the disaster thriller Crawl. For Jonathan Hensleigh's 2021 action-thriller The Ice Road, Aruj composed a heart-pounding, suspense-filled score that blends booming orchestral brass, tense percussion, and icy electronic textures to underscore the deadly journey of big-rig truckers driving across thawing frozen Canadian lakes.
Did you know?
- Big Machine Records Country-Rock Soundtrack: Beyond Max Aruj's orchestral score, The Ice Road features a curated soundtrack album produced by Big Machine Records. It includes new country-rock and Americana tracks by Jason Isbell, Tim McGraw, Miranda Lambert, Carly Pearce, and L.A. Rats (a supergroup formed by Rob Zombie, Nikki Sixx, John 5, and Tommy Clufetos covering 'I've Been Everywhere').
- Filmed in Freezing Winnipeg Conditions: Filming took place on location in Winnipeg and Gimli, Manitoba, Canada. To authentically capture the extreme environment, the cast and crew filmed on actual frozen lakes in sub-zero temperatures reaching -30°C.
- Liam Neeson's Stunt and Rig Driving: Action star Liam Neeson and co-star Marcus Thomas learned to handle massive 18-wheeler Kenworth semi-trucks specifically for the film, performing several driving sequences themselves across the ice sheets.
- Inspired by Henri-Georges Clouzot's The Wages of Fear: Writer-director Jonathan Hensleigh drew heavy narrative inspiration from the 1953 French cinema masterpiece The Wages of Fear (Le Salaire de la peur), updating the story of men transporting volatile cargo across treacherous terrain from South America to the Canadian outback.
- Max Aruj's Icy Electronic Percussion: Composer Max Aruj blended heavy orchestral brass with custom metallic percussion and synthetic sound designs made from actual recordings of cracking ice to heighten the psychological tension during the lake-crossing scenes.
