Director Ridley Scott's 1982 Blade Runner is arguably the most famous and influential science fiction film ever made. It has exerted a pervasive influence over all subsequent sci-fi cinema, and indeed our cultural perceptions of the future.
The film is a combination of 1940s film noir and futuristic detective thriller. The setting is the decayed, rain-soaked Los Angeles of 2019. Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), is a retired Blade Runner, a cop who specialises in hunting down replicants. The replicants are artificial humans, indistinguishable from the real thing in every way but two; they have no memories, and they have lifespans of only four years. Five replicants are loose in LA, led by the fearsome combat specialist Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer). Deckard's job is to hunt them down. He stalks his prey through the neon-lit, future-noir city.
