'''''Blade Runner''''' is a [[Genre Busting|genre-bending]] 1982 [[Science Fiction]] film that borrows stylistic elements from [[Film Noir]] and [[Hardboiled Detective]] fiction. Set in a [[Dystopia|dystopian]] [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future|near-future]] [[City Noir]] version of Los Angeles, it established much of the tone and flavor of the [[Cyberpunk]] movement and the film style of [[The Future Is Noir|Tech Noir]]. It is a highly intelligent film, [[Visual Effects of Awesome|visually stunning]] and features a seriously great script. The definitive high-def/Blu-ray [[Directors Cut]] came out in 2007.
Deckard is a Blade Runner. His job is to [[Deadly Euphemism|"retire"]] renegade [[Artificial Human|Replicants]] -- rogue androids that are not supposed to be on Earth. Some of the most advanced Replicants yet have escaped, and Deckard is [[One Last Job|assigned to retire them]]. But they are so like normal humans that Deckard can't help but empathize with them, and he even falls for one.

The film was a [[Box Office Bomb|commercial failure upon release]], but it [[Vindicated by History|later become a widely acknowledged classic]] that [http://www.time.com/time/2005/100movies/0,23220,blade_runner,00.html regularly appears on "Best Films Of All Time" lists].
A sequel, ''Blade Runner 2049'', directed by [[Denis Villeneuve]] (''[[Prisoners]]'', ''[[Sicario]]''), starring [[Ryan Gosling]] and with Roger Deakins as cinematographer
Not to disappoint anyone, but no one [[Blade Run|runs on blades]] in this movie.
