With an elaborate scheme to strike it rich etched in his mind, slick con artist Danny Ocean (George Clooney), contacts his old friend, Rusty (Brad Pitt) the day he gets out of prison, in hope of assembling a team of specialists to rinse the impenetrable vault of three Las Vegas casinos, all owned by Terry Benedict (Danny Garcia).

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.

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.
