Plot – Rick Deckard lives in a big city and is a “blade runner”, an identifier and exterminator of replicants, artificial beings created to be used in the space colonies. Although Deckard is tired of killing and would like to retire, the police is looking for him: they want him as he is the only one able to “call in” four Nexus 6 replicants who have illegally returned to Earth to take revenge for the four-year short life that was given them. Forced to accept, Deckard meets Tyrell, the creator of Nexus 6, and uses the Voight-Kempff test – the only system capable to distinguish a replicant from a human - on Rachael, Tyrell's secretary. The woman turns out to be a replicant, nevertheless the two fall in love. The hunt carries on and the policeman will find his preys one by one. First Zhora, a beautiful woman who dances with snakes in a nightclub; the second is Leon, a replicant that has already committed a homicide; then Pris, who will fight strenuously. The last one is Batty, the head of the rebel replicants, who after killing Tyrell starts looking for Deckard to avenge his companions. The two will fight till death, but the dying replicant will deliver a lesson of life to Deckard.

- Hannibal Chew: Don't know, I don't know such stuff. I just do eyes, ju-, ju-, just eyes... just genetic design, just eyes. You Nexus, huh? I design your eyes.
- Roy Batty: Chew, if only you could see what I've seen with your eyes!”“- Rachael: What if I go north? Disappear. Would you come after me? Hunt me?
- Rick Deckard: No... No, I wouldn't. I owe you one... But somebody would.”“Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me: cold fish.”
“We began to recognize in them a strange obsession. After all, they are emotionally inexperienced, with only a few years in which to store up the experiences which you and I take for granted. If we gift them with a past, we create a cushion or a pillow for their emotions, and consequently, we can control them better.”
“By the second day of incubation, any cells that have undergone reversion mutation give rise to revertant colonies, like rats leaving a sinking ship; then the ship... sinks.”
“- Rick Deckard: I don't work here anymore. Give it to Holden. He's good.
- Bryant: I did. He can breathe okay, as long as nobody unplugs him.”“You could learn from this guy, Gaff. He's a goddamned one-man slaughterhouse, that's what he is. Four more to go!”

"More human than human" is our motto.
“- Rachael: Have you ever retired a human by mistake?
- Rick Deckard: No.
- Rachael: But in your position, that is a risk.”“I don't know why he saved my life. Maybe in those last moments he loved life more than he ever had before. Not just his life - anybody's life; my life. All he'd wanted were the same answers the rest of us want. Where did I come from? Where am I going? How long have I got? All I could do was sit there and watch him die.”
“- Rick Deckard: Is this a real snake?
- Zhora: Of course it's not real. You think I would be working in a place like this if I could afford a real snake?”“Tyrell had told me Rachael was special. No termination date. I didn't know how long we had together... Who does?”
