Bladerunner has become a cult movie, not only for science fiction fans, but for a much wider audience.
A retired policeman, Deckard, is more or less forced back to his former occupation as "bladerunner" (a policeman who hunts down and "retires" replicants, that is, artificial humanoids).
Regardless, Bladerunner is one of the few movies which, in the eyes of a wide audience, has transcended the restraining label of science fiction and has become new classic.
Deeley secured financing for the film from a range of sources (which later proved to be a problem when the Special Edition was held up by one source) and convinced director Ridley Scott to create his first American film, but Scott was unhappy with the script and had David Peoples do a rewrite.
The term "Blade Runner" comes originally from Alan E. Nourse's 1974 novel The Bladerunner, in which the protagonist is a smuggler of fl-market surgical implements.
Hampton Fancher happened upon a copy of Bladerunner, A Movie while Scott was looking for a snappier title for his film; Scott liked the term and obtained the rights to the title (but not any aspect of the plot).
