In the futuristic year of 2019, Los Angeles have become a dark and depressing metropolis, filled with urban decay. Rick Deckard, an ex-cop, is a "Blade Runner". Blade runners are people assigned to assassinate "replicants". The replicants are androids that look like real human beings. When four replicants committed a bloody mutiny on the Off World colony, Deckard is called out of retirement to track down the androids. As he track the replicants, eliminating them one by one, he soon comes across another replicant, Rachel, who evokes human emotion despite the fact that she's a replicant herself. As Deckard closes in on the leader of the replicant group, his true hatred toward artificial intelligence makes him question about his own identity in this future world including what's human and what's not human.

A young man who escaped the clutches of a murderous hitch-hiker is subsequently stalked, framed for the hitcher's crimes, and has his life made into hell by the same man he escaped.
