Blade Runner

IT'S MAN AGAINST MACHINE IN A RACE AGAINST TIME. Los Angeles in the year 2020. Huge neon advertisements illuminate the night sky above the city's towering skyscrapers. The interiors, however, are murky and dark, the oppressive gloom occasionally relieved by beams of light from a roving spotlight. The majority of Earth's population has left for outer space with only the misfits and decadent sophisticates left behind to populate the planet. Infiltrating this strange, derelict society are four replicants, laboratory-created creatures who are practically indistinguishable from humans - whose job it is perform menial tasks in outer space, and who are forbidden, on pain of destruction, to set foot on Earth. These replicants have hi-jacked a space-shuttle by killing its crew and are now in Los Angeles passing themselves off as humans. It is up to super-cop Harrison Ford to seek them out and eliminate them before they can eliminate him... ©1982 Blade Runner Partnership, Warner Bros. and The Ladd Company, Inc.
