After elevating a haunted-house-in-space B-movie to the level of A-movie prestige in Alien, Ridley Scott got even more ambitious with his next feature. Based on the Philip K. Dick novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, Blade Runner stars Harrison Ford as a grizzled cop in futuristic Los Angeles, who’s tasked with hunting down rogue cyborgs that have assimilated into the rain-drenched city. Scott brought all the tropes and conventions and aesthetic markers of a hard-boiled detective noir into a neon-soaked near-future, and, more broadly, he pioneered the visual language of cyberpunk.
