Blade Runner
Saturday 25 June 09:20 PM

In the near future, the police department forces former blade runner Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) out of retirement to hunt four genetically engineered humans, known as Replicants, who have escaped from the off-world colonies and returned to Earth. Designed to do difficult, hazardous work, the replicants are stronger, faster and smarter than biological humans.
