Deckard (Harrison Ford) is forced by the police Boss (M. Emmet Walsh) to continue his old job as Replicant Hunter. His assignment: eliminate four escaped Replicants from the colonies who have returned to Earth.

Critics Consensus

Misunderstood when it first hit theaters, the influence of Ridley Scott's mysterious, neo-noir Blade Runner has deepened with time. A visually remarkable, achingly human sci-fi masterpiece.

This movie loses track of the few expectations it sets up, and the formlessness adds to a viewer's demoralization -- the film itself seems part of the atmosphere of decay.

3/5

Ridley Scott ought to be a set decorator, rather than a director. In Blade Runner, he loses sight of the story while devoting all his attention to decor and lighting. The decor and lighting, it must be admitted, are stupendous.

Still profound 18 years after its sell-by date, Blade Runner remains worthy of acclaim and analysis even as it exists in a "future" with very little resemblance to the one that came to pass.

Into this superficially simple detective drama, Scott has built a complex set of moral questions. Visually stunning, his Blade Runner offers us an otherworldly nightmare.

Thanks to its powerful visuals and brilliant acting, it is a movie that does not get old: no matter how many times you revisit it, there will always be some new elements or symbolism that stand out with each rewatch.

4/4

Rarely in the annals of film history has a movie received a complete critical and popular reevaluation in as short a period of time as Blade Runner (and those of us who championed it since Day One plugged it at every opportunity).

Sci-fi classic, neon, dreamy, dystopian. Too much saxaphone but it was the eighties whatareyougonnado.

It took me a while to catch up and settle in, but once I did, the movie was energetic and thumping all the way to the end. Stunning work in imagining and depicting the future, especially for a film from the early 1980s.

Pure cinema. Great story. Harrison Ford knocks it out with this performance.

Maybe its because I watched this film for the first time in 2026 but I found it highly overrated. I liked the sets and the comics were great but I just felt like this film left so much out. Harrison Ford's voiceovers were also very awkward and unnecessary. I thought the acting was decent from the Replicants but this wasn't Harrison Ford's best moment in film that's for sure.

Ahead of its time many movies want to be a sci fi noir type movie but always fail to deliver but this movie does it right and no movie will ever do it the way this movie did .
