Blade Runner (1982) – Review

Set in the early twenty-first century, the Tyrell Corporation, during what was called the Nexus phase, developed robots that were supposed to aid society. These were called “replicants”, and they were designed to look and act like humans. When four replicants commit murder and steal a ship in space, they return to Earth in hopes of finding their creator. A Blade Runner, known only as Deckard (Harrison Ford), is tasked with pursuing, and terminating all four. An iconic and thought-provoking Sci-Fi that spawned a recently released sequel. It’s worth noting that Blade Runner is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
