Just like any other media, including music and books, there are some movies that just aren't appreciated in their time. They might be too confronting, too different or simply out of line with expectations which take years to recalibrate. Blade Runner sits fits firmly in this category.

Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is a 'Blade Runner'; a retired police officer, who has been tasked with hunting down and destroying four wayward replicants - off world androids workers who have returned to Earth seeking to extend their four year lifespans, which are fast coming to an end. The particularly violent leader of the group, Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) will stop at nothing to reach their maker, Dr. Tyrell (Joe Turkel), who's assistant Rachel (Sean Young), a technologically superior replicant, becomes entangled in the fight.
