Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic future where most animals are extinct and owning a living creature is the ultimate status symbol, bounty hunter Rick Deckard is tasked with hunting down and 'retiring' six escaped androids who are virtually indistinguishable from humans. As he tracks his targets through a decaying San Francisco, Deckard begins to question the very nature of empathy, humanity, and what separates the real from the artificial. This philosophical thriller explores the blurred boundaries between human and machine in a world where both struggle to survive.
