In a crowded, rain-soaked Los Angeles of 2019, a former police specialist is pulled back into work he thought he had left behind: tracking down artificial humans who have come to Earth illegally. Part detective story, part science-fiction fable, told through mood and image as much as plot.
Why it matters in cinema history
A defining film of 1980s science fiction and the founding image of cyberpunk on screen. It marks the point where the genre turned from clean adventure toward dark, urban, adult material.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a noir detective story in which the city and the lighting carry as much meaning as the dialogue.
