Visually spectacular, intensely action-packed and powerfully prophetic since its debut, Blade Runner returns in Ridley Scott's definitive Final Cut, including extended scenes and never-before-seen special effects, now seen in sepcatacular hi-definition! In a signature role as 21st- century detective Rick Deckard, Harrison Ford brings his masculine-yet- vulnerable presence to this stylish noir thriller. In a future of high- tech possibility soured by urban and social decay, Deckard hunts for fugitive, muderous replicants - and is drawn to a mystery woman whose secrets may undermine his soul. This spectacular 5-Disc Set features all of the content of the standard definition Ultimate Collector's Edition. All five version of the legendary Sci-Fi film from Director Ridley Scott with all new 5.1 audio - the definitive Final Cut, three additional versions of the film, and the rare Work Print version - in addition to the in-depth feature length documentary "Dangerous Days", and one complete disc of bonus content including over 80-minutes of never- before-seen deleted scenes.

Disc Two
Documentary: "Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner": A feature-length, authoritative documentary revealing all the elements that shaped this hugely influential cinema landmark. Cast, crew, critics, and colleagues give a behind-the-scenes, in-depth look at the film -- from its literary roots and inception through casting, production, visuals, and special effects to its controversial legacy and place in Hollywood history.
Disc Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION (HD), the version that introduced U.S. movie-going audiences to a revolutionary film with a new and excitingly provocative vision of the near future. It contains Deckard/Harrison Ford's character narration and has Deckard and Rachel's (Sean Young) "happy ending" escape scene.
1982 INTERNATIONAL VERSION (HD), also used on U.S. home video, laser disc, and cable releases up to 1992. This version is not rated and contains some extended action scenes in contrast to the Theatrical Version.
1992 DIRECTOR'S CUT (HD), which omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial "unicorn" sequence, a vision Deckard has that suggests that he, too, may be a replicant.

Disc Five
WORKPRINT VERSION (HD): This rare version of the film is considered by some to be the most radically different of all the Blade Runner cuts. It includes an altered opening scene, no Deckard narration until the final scenes, no "unicorn" sequence, no Deckard/Rachel "happy ending," altered lines between Batty (Rutger Hauer) and his creator Tyrell (Joe Turkell), alternate music and much more.
