The famed director Ridley Scott followed the success of his film Alien with the equally brilliant and influential Blade Runner.

Just as Scott had enlisted the dark genius of H.R. Giger to realize the horror of Alien, Blade Runner inspired the genius of composer Vangelis and futurist Syd Mead to create some of the greatest music and visuals ever combined on film.

In Los Angeles in the year 2010, an operative named Deckard is assigned the task of 'retiring' four escaped artificial humans called Replicants by killing them.

The ultraviolent events that follow lead Deckard to doubt his definition of humanity.

To date, there have been two different, officially released versions of the film and of the soundtrack.

The currently available DVD is the 'Director's Cut.' The soundtrack was originally offered as an altered, orchestrated score. A CD of the amazing, original music was released some years later.
