The Blade Runner is a science fiction film by director Ridley Scott. The literary model is the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick. This novel was later also marketed under the title "Blade Runner". The film, which adopts elements of film noir and creates a dystopia, was initially not a success with critics and audiences, but became a cult film over time.
When I saw the film for the first time I was so enthusiastic that I started reading Philip K. Dick.

“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I’ve watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those … moments will be lost in time, like tears…in rain. Time to die.”
- Roy Baty, Blade Runner
