Blade Runner (film)

"Blade Runner," released in 1982 and directed by Ridley Scott, is a science fiction film set in a dystopian future where genetically engineered beings known as replicants exist. These replicants, created for labor and personal use, are almost indistinguishable from humans. The story follows Rick Deckard, a former police officer tasked with "retiring" (killing) rogue replicants. The film explores themes of humanity, identity, and morality, questioning what it means to be human. Its visually striking production design and philosophical undertones have established it as a classic in cinematic history, influencing numerous works in both film and literature.
