June 25 1982 

BLADE RUNNER opens. Written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples, from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Phillip K. Dick. Director Ridley Scott sets the bar for futuristic sci-fi with Harrison Ford as jaded cop pounding  bustling, perpetually rain slicked streets of a dystopian LA, circa 2019, in search of four rogue replicants. Rutger Hauer's finale now the stuff of legend. Also starring Sean Young and Joanna Cassidy.
