Whilst a lot of people were (quite rightfully) raving about the more recent sequel Blade Runner 2049, there is no denying the cult status of the original. A sinisterly dark, futuristic sci-fi thriller in which Harrison Ford's character has to hunt down any rogue humanoid robots (robots that are pretending to be people, who have since been outlawed). In a future where it is permanently raining, Harrison's adventure focusses on bringing in three criminal Nexus 6's (Fun Nerd Fact: Nexus 6 is the name of the model of the robot that Harrison Ford has to hunt down, which Google gave a knowing nod to, when it released it's first foray into the tablet market with its Nexus 7 device)
Its surprising when you stop and think of the number of iconic roles that Harrison Ford has had over his career, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Blade Runner are some of the biggest cult classics and I'm really not sure I can think of anyone who has that kind of cult standing? And that's before you get into the rest of the impressive back catalogue with films like The Fugitive, Clear and Present Danger, etc
