Blade Runner: The Final Cut

Screening Dates:
Fri 29 May 8:45pm

Director: Ridley Scott

Actors: Harrison Ford, Daryl Hannah, Rutger Haur, Sean Young.

In Ridley Scott’s brooding, doom-laden thriller set in a spectacularly imagined future Los Angeles, a hired killer named Deckard (Ford) tracks down a group of renegade androids who have escaped from slavery on a colonised planet.

Loosely based on Philip K. Dick’s paranoid masterpiece Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, and undoubtedly one of the most influential sci-fi movies of all time, Blade Runner was famously butchered in previous studio versions, including a so-called director’s cut that was nothing of the sort.

This ‘final cut’ is the only version over which Scott had full artistic control.
