From the Cinema International Poster:
The mystic, paranoid and brilliant imagination of Philip K. Dick helped expand the possibilities of serious science fiction. Blade Runner is the greatest movie ever adapted from one of his books - overlooked in its 1982 release, it has since developed a cult following among those fascinated by its bleak, yet stylish vision of the future, and the way it captures how technology blurs the line between reality and artificiality. In the story, Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) hunts for robotic "replicants" who pass as humans, and he starts to question the boundaries of the reality he's always accepted. Part hard-boiled detective movie, part 1980s new wave spectacle, part science fiction mystery, Blade Runner is as impossible to characterize as it is profoundly memorable. It "creates a compelling fantasy world, a disturbing future as near to us as our nightmares." - Richard Corliss, Time.
