Have your say: What are the greatest sci-fi movies ever made?
Starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Daryl Hannah, the film is based on Philip K Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
The original 1982 Us theatrical version of the film added Harrison Ford voiceovers and a "happy ending", while the international version released the same year included more violent action scenes.
In 1992, Scott approved 'The Director's Cut' of the film, with the work conducted by Michael Arick. This version removed Ford's voiceovers and the "happy ending" and added a dream sequence.
Blade Runner: The Final Cut is Scott's own 25th anniversary 2007 re-edit of the film, where the director was given full artistic control.

In 1970, the Vietnam war was still raging, people were debating and protesting the Asian struggle and the Greatest generation was wondering what happened to duty, service, and love of country. After a period when World War II movies appeared to have exhausted their welcome at the movie theater, along came Patton with a riveting performance of a true American hero from George C. Scott.
