In 1982 a film came to the cinema that is set in the near future of Los Angeles in 2019 and itself changed the future of cinema as it is one of the most influential science fiction films ever and achieved cult status among cinema buffs around the world. This success was not foreseeable at first, because at the time of its release the film was a flop at the box office. The world of the Blade Runner is oppressively topical today. In his cult film, Ridley Scott conjures up a cold, rain-lashed, neon-glowing big city moloch who plunges into a social, economic and environmental dystopia.
