    All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain…

    Blade Runner, the science fiction classic directed by Ridley Scott, is situated in a putrescent, dystopian Los Angeles of 2019; a future in which we follow retired blade runner, Rick Deckard, who must hunt rogue synthetic humans that are illegally roaming the planet.
