Silvestri's grandparents emigrated in 1908 from the Italian town of Castell'Alfero, and settled in Teaneck to raise a family. He grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey and attended Teaneck High School.He went to Berklee College of Music for two years. Alan was a drummer for a short time in 1966 with Teaneck-based rock band, "The Herd".

From 1977 to 1983, Silvestri served as the main composer for the television series ‘CHiPs’, writing music for 109 of the series' 139 episodes.
Silvestri met producer Robert Zemeckis, when the two worked together on Zemeckis's film ‘Romancing the Stone’ (1984). Since then, Silvestri has composed the music for all of Zemeckis's movies, including the ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy (1985-1990), ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’ (1988), ‘Death Becomes Her’ (1992), ‘Forrest Gump’ (1994), ‘Contact’ (1997), ‘Cast Away’ (2000), ‘The Polar Express’ (2004), ‘Beowulf’ (2007), ‘A Christmas Carol’ (2009), ‘Flight’ (2012) and ‘The Walk’ (2015).
In 1989, Silvestri composed the score for the James Cameron-directed blockbuster The Abyss, and is also known for his work on the films ‘Predator’ (1987) and ‘Predator 2’ (1990), both of which are considered preeminent examples of action/science fiction film scores. Since 2001, Silvestri has also collaborated regularly with director Stephen Sommers, scoring the films ‘The Mummy Returns’ (2001), ‘Van Helsing’ (2004), and ‘G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra’ (2009).
