Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth. Before starting the job, Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation, and he meets Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant girl he falls in love with.

Critics Consensus

Misunderstood when it first hit theaters, the influence of Ridley Scott's mysterious, neo-noir Blade Runner has deepened with time. A visually remarkable, achingly human sci-fi masterpiece.

A dazzling cult classic that oozes ambience.

This movie loses track of the few expectations it sets up, and the formlessness adds to a viewer's demoralization -- the film itself seems part of the atmosphere of decay.

3/5

Ridley Scott ought to be a set decorator, rather than a director. In Blade Runner, he loses sight of the story while devoting all his attention to decor and lighting. The decor and lighting, it must be admitted, are stupendous.

Into this superficially simple detective drama, Scott has built a complex set of moral questions. Visually stunning, his Blade Runner offers us an otherworldly nightmare.

4.5/5

Thanks to its powerful visuals and brilliant acting, it is a movie that does not get old: no matter how many times you revisit it, there will always be some new elements or symbolism that stand out with each rewatch.

4/4

Rarely in the annals of film history has a movie received a complete critical and popular reevaluation in as short a period of time as Blade Runner (and those of us who championed it since Day One plugged it at every opportunity).

Sat down, with my brother, as adult. Gave it my best attention. Do not like. Why? The nihilism?

This is really good. It was kinda slow to start, but it's so cool. My dad liked it for the old detective stuff, but he's old. I highly enjoyed the cyberpunk PKD stuff. Speaking of PKD, I'm reading the original book, witch Philip K Dick(PKD) wrote.

Blade Runner is a very slick , stylistic SciFi film. Director Ridley Scott knocks out of the park in this one. Harrison Ford as Blade Runner , Decker , is a fantastic portrayal. Rutger Hauer as a replicant Roy, is menacingly great. Great visuals. Good one.
