Blade Runner

The illustrated poster for Blade Runner features Harrison Ford’s character Rick Deckard holding a gun, with sweat on his brow and a serious expression. Beside him is Sean Young’s character Rachael, elegantly smoking a cigarette. The background blends futuristic cityscapes, flying cars, and beams of light piercing through darkness. The tagline reads: “Man has made his match… now it’s his problem.” The title is bold in red and white, emphasizing the cyberpunk noir theme.
