Deckard, an ex-cop who is put back on his job as a “Blade Runner”, hunts down “replicants” who are manufactured super-humans. Their ambitions towards a longer life-span which goes beyond the granted, limited one of four years have made them dangerous and they therefore are not allowed on earth. Having developed the ability to build character and feelings, some replicants yet return to Earth seeking to confront their makers at the Tyrell Corporation to obtain more life. It turns out that the replicants are more decent and human than humans themselves and there is a threshold involved which leaves some characters, as well as plenty of viewers, confused about who is man and who is man-made. Interestingly, and perhaps due to bad timing at the over-saturated box office, it was not until quite some time (years) later, that the film became a cult classic. The movie has since come to be considered by many a masterpiece, as well as one of the most aesthetically appealing, relevant, and influential sci-fi movies of all time.
