In a dystopian future Los Angeles, the powerful Tyrell Corporation has created advanced synthetic humans known as replicants to use as slave labour on off-world mining facilities. Ex-cop Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is reluctantly brought back into service as a “blade runner” to hunt down and “retire” four rogue replicants, led by the enigmatic Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer), who have escaped to Earth seeking to extend their predetermined lifespans. Ridley Scott’s visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic feature is a legendary sci-fi classic.
