June 25 1982 

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