Blade Runner: The Final Cut

Directed by Ridley Scott

Adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Ridley Scott’s iconic dystopian classic is unquestionably one of the most influential and imitated sci-fi features. Harrison Ford (never better) is exemplary as the world-weary detective hunting down intelligent but murderous replicants in a neon-lit, rain-spattered future Los Angeles. Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Daryl Hannah all give career-defining performances as his quarry. The memorable score is courtesy of Vangelis. Given complete artistic freedom to make The Final Cut in 2007, the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, director Ridley Scott created this final, definitive version, fully restored from the original negative. A film that can only really be fully appreciated on the big screen.
