Product Description
-------------------
Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully
prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott's
definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and
never-before-seen special effects. In a signature role as
21st-century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his
masculine-yet-vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller.
In a future of high-tech possibility soured by urban and social
decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, murderous replicants - and is
drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul.

Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences
to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative
vision of the near-future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's
character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young)
"happy ending" escape scene.
1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc and cable releases up to
1992. This version is not rated, and contains some extended
action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.
1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and
removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the
famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard
has which suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.
