THIS IS BLADE RUNNER - THE FINAL CUT, RIDLEY SCOTT’S DEFINITIVE NEW VERSION OF HIS SCIENCE-FICTION MASTERPIECE AND IS ON DIGITAL FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NORTHERN IRELAND.
It is 2019 and genetically made beings known as replicants exist as slaves and prostitutes in the off-planet colonies. Despite possessing such human traits as intelligence and virtual emotion, they are limited by a four-year life span which forces them to question their mortality. Four escaped replicants, led by Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer, THE HITCHER), arrive in Los Angeles to confront their designer, Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel). Hot on their trail is world-weary assassin -or ‘blade runner’- Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who has come out of retirement especially for this case. His objective is to hunt down and liquidate the four renegade androids before they have a chance to exact revenge on their cruel human oppressors.
“This is a seminal film, building on older classics like Metropolis or Things to Come, but establishing a pervasive view of the future that has influenced science fiction films ever since.” Roger Ebert
Dir. Ridley Scott - 1982/2007 – USA - 113 mins - Cert 15 - Warner Bros
