Blade Runner: The Final Cut15

Directed by Ridley Scott | USA | 1982 | 1h 58m | Starring Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Rutger Hauer, Daryl Hannah, M. Emmet Walsh

In a smog-choked, dystopian Los Angeles in 2019, former “blade runner” Rick Deckard is pulled out of retirement for one last assignment: tracking down and “retiring” a group of escaped replicants who have come to Earth in search of their creator. As Deckard follows his target to the powerful Tyrell Corporation, he encounters Rachel, a replicant whose emergence complicates his mission when he finds himself drawn into a conflicted and unexpected romance. A landmark of modern science fiction, Blade Runner showcases the visionary direction of Ridley Scott, blending noir atmosphere with a richly detailed futuristic world. Adapted from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film is defined by its groundbreaking production design and the atmospheric, synth-driven score by Vangelis.

‘The single most immersive and tactile world ever created for the cinema.’
★★★★★

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
