Blade Runner

(1982) Rated: R Run Time: 1 hr 57 mins Science Fiction A blend of science fiction and noir detective fiction, BLADE RUNNER was a box office and critical bust upon its initial exhibition, but its unique postmodern production design became hugely influential within the sci-fi genre, and the film gained a significant cult following that increased its stature. Harrison Ford stars as Rick Deckard, a retired cop in Los Angeles circa 2019. L.A. has become a pan-cultural dystopia of corporate advertising, pollution and flying automobiles, as well as replicants, human-like androids with short life spans built by the Tyrell Corporation for use in dangerous off-world colonization. Deckard’s former job in the police department was as a talented blade runner, a euphemism for detectives that hunt down and assassinate rogue replicants. Called before his one-time superior (M. Emmett Walsh), Deckard is forced back into active duty. No passes or discounts accepted for this film. Will call tickets may be picked up at The Cary Box Office beginning one hour prior to the movie.
