"It's a Technological World"

Summary Plot : Blade Runner

At the beginning of the 21st century, the Tyrell Corporation makes an breakthrough in the robotic technology for the Nexus phase, which allows it to create beings similar to human beings, known as replicants. Replicants Nexus 6 are superior in force and agility to any human being. Their intelligence is equivalent to the one of the genetic engineers who had created them. These androids are used as slaves in the dangerous exploration and settling of other planets. After the revolt of a force of combat Nexus 6 in one of these colonies, replicants are considered illegal on Earth and have to be exterminated. Therefore special forces are created, called Blade Runner, specialized in the location and extermination of replicants. The action takes place in Los Angeles, in November, 2019. Leon Kowalski, one replicant, is submitted to the Voight-Kampff test (V.K.). Feeling difficulties in answering some questions, the replicant kills the Blade Runner that interrogates him. As a consequence to this fact, the former-Blade Runner, captain Deckard, is obliged against his will to come back as a policeman. His mission is to hunt four replicants especially dangerous that had assaulted a swing in a colony and had come to Earth: Leon, Roy, Zhora and Pris. Deckard is informed that one of the replicants can develop emotions and at the same time they had a memory device. However, there is another chip that limits their life time up to four years. As Deckard goes to the Tyrell Corporation, he meets the owner of the company and Rachel, to whom he makes the V.K test. The results of the test show that she is a replicant. But this was not easy to detect, as Tyrell had implanted memories of his niece, making her believe she really had a past and a family.

Later, Deckard goes to Leon's house, where he finds photographs and a scale of an artificial snake that will help to locate Zhora later. Deckard goes to the bar where Zhora works. After a persecution, he finally kills her. Shortly afterwards, he is informed that he has to kill Rachel.

Leon tries to kill Deckard, but Rachel, saves him by killing Leon with a shot. The two go to the policeman's house. Rachel confesses her fear of being pursued by Deckard or another Blade Runner. Deckard says he would never persecute her. Deckard and Rachel kiss.

Roy goes to meet Pris at Sebastian's house, who finds out that they are Nexus 6. Roy persuades him to help them contact Dr. Tyrell. When questioning Dr. Tyrell, Roy comes to know that it is impossible to change his time of life. Then, he kisses and kills him. Sebastian was also killed.

Deckard goes to Sebastian's house. There he is attacked by Pris but he kills her.

Roy comes at Sebastain's house and fights against Deckard, breaking three fingers from his hand. When running away from Roy, Deckard tries to jump out of a terrace to another one, but he is not successful. While he is falling, he manages to grab a metal bar, which ends up saving his life.

Amazingly Roy saves Deckard from a certain death. Deckard is astonished. Roy explains his gesture in the following words: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.Time to die." Roy dies. Deckard heads to his house, where he finds Rachel and he realises that another Blade Runner had been there. But knowing about Rachel's relationship with Deckard, he didn't kill her. After all, she had a limit of life of four years.

Deckard and Rachel run away to somewhere far from the city, in one of the few scenes with sun and the only one where the set is the natural landscape.
