By 1980 Ridley Scott was on his way to becoming one of the most respected directors in the business. After years working in advertising, he finally scored his first feature directorial debut with The Duellists (1977), followed closely by his sci fi-horror masterpiece Alien (1979).

His next movie became the Neo-noir classic Blade Runner. Scott changed the way the future would be seen. His vision was of a dystopian world; riddled with neon-advertising, ran by giant corporations, and awash with a lonely populous, living in a sea of over population.

Dangerous Days takes you on a three-and-a-half hour dive into the creative vision of Scott, his tenacious and demanding approach to filming, and his rocky working relationship with his leading man, Harrison Ford. With in-depth interviews from the director and the cast, it's a must-watch for anyone who's haunted by dreams of electric sheep.

Among other things, the doc dives into the notorious and controversial voiceovers, that are cherished by some and hated by others, including Harrison Ford himself.
