As part of Sci-Fi: Days of Fear and Wonder, we present a rare opportunity to see Blade Runner on the big screen, ahead of its re-release next May. Perhaps more than any other film, Ridley Scott’s iconic sci-fi classic has gripped audiences and inspired passionate and fierce debate. Based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by science fiction master Philip K Dick, Blade Runner is a haunting look at reality, memory and mortality set against the dystopian future of LA, 2019.

Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is exemplary as the world weary detective and former "blade runner" called out of retirement to hunt and kill four "replicants" led by Roy (Rutger Hauer). These genetically altered humans with superior strength and intellects have returned to earth on a killing spree, determined to meet their maker, Dr. Eldon Tyrell (Joe Turkel).

Deckard's investigation leads across the glittering heights and disintegrating depths of Ridley Scott's fantastically imagined metropolis - filled with pyramids, enormous neon billboards and spinner cars amid unimaginable overcrowding and a constant deluge of acid rain. Before his search is over, Deckard will find himself falling in love with Rachael (Sean Young), Tyrell’s beautiful, mysterious assistant. He will also face off against Roy in brutal hand-to-hand combat. But Deckard's most troubling find will be the suspicion that he just might be a replicant himself...

Ticket prices: £8.00 full / £6.50 concessions.
