7 Reasons It’s Tough to Watch Blade Runner Today

Rick Deckard, played by Ford, is a Blade Runner – a specialized police officer who tracks down and eliminates rogue Replicants who have escaped to Earth. When a group of 4 to 6 Replicants appear in Los Angeles, Deckard is called upon to hunt them down. The film features thrilling chases, futuristic technology, and a visually striking, rain-soaked city, but also explores themes of morality. While Blade Runner is considered a classic science fiction film, some elements haven’t held up well after 43 years.
