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. 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 includes all five version of the legendary Sci-Fi film from Director Ridley Scott - the definitive Final Cut with all new 5.1 audio, 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 Three
1982 THEATRICAL VERSION
This is 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
Also used on U.S. home video, laserdisc 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
The Director's Cut omits Deckard's voiceover narration and removes
the "happy ending" finale. It adds the famously-controversial
"unicorn" sequence, a vision that Deckard has which suggests that
he, too, may be a replicant.
