One of the pioneers of cyberpunk aesthetics in cinema and one of the most iconic science fiction works in history, Blade Runner is adapted from Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The story takes place in the neon-lit, perpetually rainy, dark streets of Los Angeles, exploring what it means to be human through a philosophical journey in a society controlled by technology. 

The plot revolves around Rick Deckard, a member of the Blade Runner unit tasked with hunting down replicants—artificial humans created by biotechnology companies—in a dystopian Los Angeles in 2019. Deckard is assigned to track and eliminate a group of rogue androids nearly indistinguishable from real humans. However, as he carries out his mission, he discovers that these artificial beings have their desires, fears, and consciousness. In a world where the line between humans and machines is increasingly blurred, Deckard finds himself amid an existential crisis.
