Netflix’s new survival thriller Apex drops on April 24, 2026. The film stars Charlize Theron as a grieving rock climber named Sasha. She goes deep into the Australian wilderness only to get hunted by a ruthless killer played by Taron Egerton. Director Baltasar Kormákur, known for Everest, creates a tense cat-and-mouse game set against a harsh landscape.
Music plays a big part in telling this story. The movie uses a handful of carefully chosen songs. They add weight to key scenes. Here is a look at every major song in the Apex (2026) soundtrack.
Every Song & Soundtrack in Apex (2026)
“Go” by The Chemical Brothers
The trailer for Apex uses “Go” by The Chemical Brothers. The British duo, made up of Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, released this track back in 2015. It is a high-energy electronic song. The trailer shows Egerton’s character giving Sasha a chilling ultimatum: “You have until the end of this song to get as far from me as you can”. The song’s urgent beat fits the film’s high-stakes chase perfectly.
“Revolution” by Dennis Brown
The film also includes “Revolution” by legendary reggae singer Dennis Brown. Brown wrote the track with Sly Dunbar and Robert Shakespeare. Sly & Robbie, the famous production duo, produced the song. It appears courtesy of Taxi Records, The Dennis Brown Estate, and Analog Metaverse. The song brings a classic reggae feel to a tense moment in the film.
