25 years after the original 1982 theatrical run and 15 years after the original 1992 attempt to have Ridley Scott’s version of the film come to life with “Blade Runner: The Director’s Cut”, Scott was invited back in mid-2000 to help put together a final and definitive version of the film. After years of legal disputes, Warner Bros. secured full distribution rights to the film and in 2007 a final version of the film, aptly named “The Final Cut” was released!
Harrison Ford stars in this fascinating, dark vision of the near future as a policeman who tracks engineered humans–a Blade Runner. In the year 2019, the police department forces Rick Deckard (Ford) out of retirement to hunt four genetically engineered humans who have come to earth. Designed to do difficult, hazardous work, the manufactured humans are stronger, faster and smarter than non engineered humans. They feel no pain or remorse; they are almost indistinguishable from other humans … and they are killing people.
