Deckert (Harrison Ford) is reluctantly convinced (we don't see how) to do one last job: retire 4 replicants who have come back to earth to try to figure out how to live past their 4 year life span. Along the way he falls in love with a replicant who works for the company that builds them (and who is unaware that she is a replicant). With her help he manages to track down and kill 3 of them, almost getting killed himself. The last one (Rutger Hauer), having failed to find a way to prolong his life, saves Deckert's life before expiring. Then there's 10 minutes tacked on to the end where they hint that the replicant he is in love with might be dead but she turns out not to be dead. Edward James Olmos, the creepy cop who makes origami, has been there, and his words ring in Deckert's ears "everybody dies don'tcha know" or some crap. Also Deckert is also a replicant, but they never explain why you are supposed to know that but you should have read the book, shouldn't you have?
