The Experience
Thirty years after the Nexus-8 revolt, blade runner K hunts rogue replicants in neon-drenched dystopian Los Angeles. When K uncovers implanted childhood memories identical to legendary Deckard’s daughter, he questions his nature. Villeneuve expands Ridley Scott’s universe into profound questions of created consciousness, authentic experience, and whether artificial beings dreaming electric sheep can claim personhood in a world that engineered them as slaves.
