World’s top scientists vote Blade Runner best sci-fi film

TOP scientists have voted Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner the best science fiction film ever made.

The 1982 movie came top in a Guardian poll of 60 of the world’s top scientists, including evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker.

In the film, Harrison Ford plays a retired Blade Runner - a cop who hunts artificial humans, or replicants - who is brought back to kill four renegade replicants amid a dark futuristic vision of Los Angeles.
