Deemed a failure upon release,
Blade Runner has nonetheless achieved true cult status as one of the most
influential modern sci-fi films of all time, from the paragon of cinematic
style, Ridley Scott. Harrison Ford plays Deckard, a police officer charged
with bringing down a group of android Replicants, headed by Rutger Hauer.
Amidst the brutality and darkness of an industrialised world, love and humanity
break through the clouds. The message Blade Runner conveys underlines the
importance of the human experience that we so often take for granted. |
