Hamlin, Pa. �
At 6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 20, the Wayne County Arts Alliance will present the 1982 cult classic �Blade Runner� as part of its Director�s Cut Sunday Night Cinema series.
A science fiction thriller set in 2019 in a dystopian Los Angeles, the movie is directed by Ridley Scott and stars a young Harrison Ford. Its plot revolves around a renegade band of genetically engineered robots that has returned to earth and is being hunted down by special police agents known as �blade runners.�
The film is considered a leading example of the neo noir genre. Ford plays a particularly talented blade runner who races around the high-tech but decaying streets of L. A. battling replicants, corporate power, the consequences of genetic engineering, and the implications of his own humanity. The cast also includes Rutger Hauer, Sean Young and Daryl Hannah.
The Arts Alliance will air the definitive version of the movie, modified and with additional scenes chosen by Scott, who also directed �Alien,� �Thelma & Louise,� �Gladiator,� and �Hannibal.�
The �Director�s Cut� series, which runs through March 6, provides a selection of films by top directors from around the world. Showings are at the Wayne County Chamber of Commerce, 32 Commercial Street in Honesdale. A donation of $5.00 per person is suggested, to help support the activities of the Arts Alliance.
The film will be preceded with a short introduction and followed by a discussion.
