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.

Why It Will Define 2017: Blade Runner is one of the best-loved sci-fi movies of all time, and the stakes are undeniably high when it comes to this sequel fans are anticipating with a king-sized dose of nervous anxiety.

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.
