In this masterpiece of dystopian science fiction on film, a blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.
Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with. The pre-CGI effects and industrial set design are somehow still fresh, the rain is incessant, the sun never shines, and the soundtrack is an eerie wave of Vangelis. This is a seminal film, building on older classics like ‘Metropolis’, but establishing a pervasive view of the future that has influenced science fiction films ever since.
