Blade Runner

Ridley Scott · 1982

Ridley Scott's 1982 science fiction film, adapted from Philip K. Dick's novel, sends former police officer Rick Deckard after a group of fugitive synthetic humans, or replicants, hiding in a decaying future Los Angeles. Shot by Jordan Cronenweth with a score by Vangelis, it underperformed on release and split critics over its pacing, only to be reissued in seven different versions and become one of the defining works of neo-noir and cyberpunk cinema.

Blade Runner 2049

Denis Villeneuve · 2017

Thirty-five years after Ridley Scott's original, Denis Villeneuve's sequel sends replicant blade runner K into a discovery that threatens the order between humans and the synthetics who serve them, with Harrison Ford's Deckard drawn back into the search. Visually enormous and emotionally patient, it won over critics but not, relative to its cost, box offices.
