今でこそSF映画の最高傑作の1本と位置づけられる「ブレードランナー」だが、公開当初には今日ほど高くは評価されておらず、また、制作現場はリドリー・スコット監督の完璧主義のせいで大混乱に陥っていた。本作は、当時のデンジャラスきわまりない撮影の日々と、映画が公開されてから時代を経るごとに評価が高まっていった経緯を、関係者の証言でたどる、必見のドキュメンタリーである。

A summary of the differences and similarities between Do Androids Dream of Electric Sleep and Blade Runner.

This is the rare UK Channel 4 documentary about Blade Runner, giving insights into it's history with interviews of Ridley Scott, the writers and nearly all the cast. Interviews with production staff, including Ridley, give details into the creative process and turmoil during preproduction. Stories from Paul M. Sammon and Fancher provide insight into Philip K. Dick and the origins of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Interweaved are cast interviews with the notable exceptions of Harrison Ford and Sean Young. Through these interviews we get a sense of how difficult and frustrating the film was to make as a result of an exacting director without allies and hot, wet, smoggy conditions; which added to the high pressure atmosphere everyone increasingly felt as the film went over budget. There is also a tour of some locations, most notably the Bradbury Building and the Warner Brothers backlot that was the LA 2019 streets, which look very different from Ridley's dark version.

This straight-talking program seeks to understand the enigmatic and controversial Sam Peckinpah, whose violent films such as The Wild Bunch and Straw Dogs had a telling effect on the cinema of the 1970s and 80s.

Clips from key films reinforce this detailed discussion of Peckinpah's art and a fixation on violence that still permeates Hollywood today.
