Twenty years ago, we thought of “now” in the year 1997 and we wondered what life would be like.

Little could we have guessed there would be no world government; the cars would look like boxes instead of rocket ships; and there would still be rock ‘n’ roll on the radio.

Blade Runner asks us to imagine its own future, in the year 2049. The movie takes place in a Los Angeles that looks like a futuristic Tokyo, with gigantic billboards showing smiling Japanese girls drinking Coca-Cola.

One would have predicted LA would be Hispanic, but never mind. It looks sensational.

Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos.

K's discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years. 

Deckard is laconic, cynical, competent. He had a difficult assignment which he, as he tells K, “was good at.”

Deckard hunted a group of Replicants – artificial people who seem amazingly human – that escaped from “off-world”. 

Now K has questions about what the job entails and seeks Deckard’s help.
