Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard
Harrison Ford took a gamble on Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. He was fresh off his starring roles in The Empire Strikes Back and Raiders of the Lost Ark and was looking to do something a little more edgy. Blade Runner, an adaptation of Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? was a perfect blend of film noir, science fiction and thought-provoking story telling. Inspired by the Humphrey Bogart-style private investigator films of the '40s and '50s, Blade Runner tells a gritty detective story set in a dystopian future that raises questions about what it means to be human.[1]
