4. Tyrell (Blade Runner)
2019 Los Angeles is a hazardous, polluted dystopia in Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, all while Dr. Eldon Tyrell, the head of the nefarious Tyrell Corporation, sits proudly in his high-rise luxury home. Tyrell's company has spearheaded the production of so-called "replicants", synthetic human beings who are notoriously difficult to differentiate from the definite article. They are primarily used for slave labour despite the cruel fact that they are self-aware. Tyrell is driven by a tireless quest to amass more and more fortune, an ignoble goal considering he fails to at all engage with the fact that he's not only enslaved "things" which are aware of this fact, but has built in a four-year life-span for each replicant. Throwing any and all ethics out of the window, Tyrell is an intellectual monster who suitably ends up on the wrong end of a replicant himself, though the film's crushing finale - in which it is suggested that Deckard is a replicant - implies how far-reaching Tyrell's pervasive technology goes. So, working for Tyrell is a real bummer. You might end up being murdered by one of his creations, or worse still, find out that you're a replicant yourself.
