Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic San Francisco, bounty hunter Rick Deckard is tasked with 'retiring' six escaped Nexus-6 androids so sophisticated they are nearly indistinguishable from humans. As he hunts them down, he is forced to question the nature of empathy, authenticity, and what it truly means to be alive.
