Blade Runner is a science-fiction franchise that began with Ridley Scott's 1982 film, set in a dystopian future Los Angeles where artificial humanoids called Replicants are nearly indistinguishable from real humans. The original story follows a special agent tasked with hunting down rogue Replicants. The franchise continued with a 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2049.
