Directed by Ridley Scott and starring AFI Life Achievement Award honoree Harrison Ford, BLADE RUNNER (1982) also features an iconic supporting performance from AFI Trustee Edward James Olmos. With incomparable design by “visual futurist” Syd Mead, the dystopian image of a future Los Angeles (set in 2019) earned a place on the 10th anniversary edition of the American Film Institute’s list of the greatest films of all time, as well as on its ranking of the art form’s greatest thrills and among the top 10 sci-fi films.
