Blade Runner (1982)

Los Angeles, the 21st century. World-weary cop tracks down a handful of renegade replicants (synthetically produced human slaves who, with only days left of life, search madly for some way to extend their prescribed lifetimes). Moody, beautifully photographed, dark thriller with sets from an architect's dream. Based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick. Director's cut, released at 117 minutes, removes Ford's narration and the last scene of the film, which Scott considered too up, and inserts several short scenes, including a dream sequence.
