20 Essential Movie Moments That Will Define 2017
7. Deckard Returns - Blade Runner 2049
The Moment: LAPD officer and new blade runner K (Ryan Gosling) tracks down Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), who vanished three decades prior and may hold the key to saving humanity from an impending catastrophe.

It's been implied that Ford has a fairly small but pivotal supporting role in the film's second half, yet simply seeing Deckard emerge from the shadows and explain what he's been up to over the last 30 years is sure to have major dramatic impact.
And with so much talent both in front of and behind the camera, it's easy to be cautiously optimistic about the film's end result.
