Blade Runner (1982)
Directed by Ridley Scott , written by Hampton Fancher and David Webb Peoples (based on a Philip K. Dick story)

The most intelligent and terrifying vision of the future ever conceived for the screen, Blade Runner is based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the Philip K. Dick novel about the essence of what it is to be human, and the urge to confront one’s creator with questions about our imperfections and the inevitability of death. Proceed with caution: this is a very violent picture. And even so, it graphically illustrates the plight of humankind separated from God, angry about the existence of evil, and using all kinds of evil to strike back at God.
