RIDLEY SCOTT’S
THE DIRECTOR’S CUT
DIGITALLY RESTORED AND RE-MASTERED
ON DVD 9th OCTOBER
FROM WARNER HOME VIDEO
‘Blade Runner rewrote the rulebook and altered the way sci-fi movies looked forever. …the stunning visualisation of a corroded near-future LA still steals the breath like no other.’
***** EMPIRE
‘In its earlier incarnation, the film was a flawed masterpiece; in Scott’s restored version, it is, quite simply, a masterpiece.’
TIME OUT
‘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.’

One of the most eagerly awaited DVDs is finally re-issued by Warner Home Video on 9th October. A restored and remastered DVD version of the 1992 BLADE RUNNER Director’s Cut, which has been unavailable for several years, will be pressed once more for a special four-month limited release.
BLADE RUNNER starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos and Daryl Hannah made its first appearance in U.K. cinemas on 9 September 1982, dazzling audiences with its stylish, brooding look into the future. From its intelligent, provocative story line to its stunning camera work and state-of-the art special effects, BLADE RUNNER opened the door to a new vision of tomorrow.
Set in a multi-ethnic, overcrowded, high-tech city of the future, BLADE RUNNER was also a benchmark in production design and helped propel the “cyberpunk” look into mainstream consciousness. The film’s impact on the science fiction films that followed it cannot be overstated. |
SYNOPSIS
Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) prowls the steel-and-microchip jungle of 21st Century Los Angeles. He's a "blade runner" stalking genetically made criminal replicants. His assignment: kill them. Their crime: wanting to be human. The story of BLADE RUNNER is familiar to countless fans. But few have seen it like this. Because this is director Ridley Scott's own vision of his sci-fi classic. This version omits Deckard's voice narration, develops in slightly greater detail the romance between Deckard and Rachael (Sean Young) and removes the "uplifting" finale. The result is a heightened emotional impact: a great film made greater. Most intriguing of all is a newly included unicorn vision that suggests that Deckard may be a humanoid. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Is Deckard a replicant? As with all things in the future, you must discover the answer yourself.
