LOS ANGELES, OCTOBER 1019.
Earth is a very difficult place for humans. It is very under-populated, with many homes and apartment buildings empty or with only a few inhabitants.
The space colonies make extensive use of replicants in households and factories. Making replicants is one of Earth's largest industries.
The leading maker of replicants is Tyrell Corporation, led by Dr. Tyrell. Its latest model is the Nexus-6. They can think for themselves and a replicant rebellion is starting to worry people.
It is now illegal for the Nexus-6 replicants to come to Earth Their built-in life span is only four years.
At a Mars space colony, a small band of Nexus-6 replicants escapes and makes their way back to Earth. Their mission: To confront Dr. Tyrell and force him to extend their life span. Since Nexus-6 is considerably stronger, faster and smarter than the average human, the success of this mission might endanger all of mankind.
Authorities on Earth are aware of the five outlaw replicants, and have persuaded their best blade runner (a replicant bounty hunter), Rick Deckard, to hunt them down and kill them as fast as possible.
It wasn't called execution.
It was called retirement.
Hardly anyone smiles in the whole film. They're grim, depressed people living in a dark, grimy, depopulated, barely survival atmosphere and constantly raining Los Angeles.
Deckard who at the start of the film cares for no one, and has a "they're just machines" attitude toward the replicants, comes to care for and appreciate them. Deckard even falls in love with the replicant, Rachel.
The film starts with mind-blowing music and has a great way to start a movie. As soon as you see Los Angeles in the very first bit you will be amazed. After that we have Leon, a replicant, taking the "Voight-Kampffe" test then murdering a blade runner in cold blood. Then we see everyone walking about in the streets with their futuristic clothes, umbrellas and cars (spinners).
Later we see Rick Deckard retiring the first three replicants in great, memorable ways then it's the end when he tries to take down the final replicant, Roy Batty that is definitely the best scene in the whole movie.
This is not a big Schwarzenegger action movie filled with cliches you would find in them sort of films or a Star Wars type with good versus evil. This is one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made directed by Ridley Scott who made the classic Alien and then later Gladiator; and stars Harrison Ford who played the great Indiana Jones and Han Solo but this time it's his best and very different role.
If you hated this movie...no one will understand you.
