A financial flop with a mixed critical reception at first, Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” quickly became a cult favorite, and is now considered one of the best science fiction films ever made, as well as one of the finest examples of the neo noir genre. The year is 2019, and the all-powerful Tyrell Corporation produces so called “replicants”, genetically engineered robots who look exactly like humans and who are used for hard labor on the off-world colonies. Replicants are not allowed n Earth, and it’s the job of the special police task force called the “blade runners” to eliminate any replicants found on Earth. Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a retired blade runner who, under pressure from his former boss, accepts one last task of finding and eliminating a group of replicants who are on Earth looking to find a way to extend their pre designed short life span. During the investigation, Deckard meets Rachael, an experimental replicant with implanted false memories who believes she is human. Deckard tracks down two of the rogue replicants. He kills one of them, and Rachael kills the other, thus saving Deckard’s life. Rachael and Deckard get intimate, as a sort of a quiet before the storm. One of the two remaining replicants gets to Dr. Tyrell, the head of the Tyrell corporation, and kills him when he refuses to extend his life. Meanwhile Deckard kills the third replicant. He chases down the last one, who is nearing the end of his four year life, and in a game of catch he ends up hanging from the roof of the building. The replicant saves his life before dying, and Deckard and Rachael storm off into the sunset.
