In honor of its 25th anniversary, Ridley Scott's science fiction masterpiece Blade Runner, starring Harrison Ford, made a long-awaited return to the big screen with a completely re-mastered director's cut. Visually spectacular, action-packed and enduringly provocative since its original 1982 release, the stylish noir thriller stars Harrison Ford in an unforgettable role.

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. Now Deckard must stop them before they kill again.

Reviews
"Scott has resisted the temptation to go back and replace analog special effects with new GCI work (which disturbed many fans of George Lucas’ “Star Wars”) and has kept Douglas Turnbull’s virtuoso original special effects, while enhancing, restoring, cleaning and scrubbing both visuals and sound so the film reflects a higher technical standard than ever before. It looks so great, you’re tempted to say the hell with the story, let’s just watch it." – Roger Ebert
