"Blade Runner 2049" is set 30 years after the events of the original film, in a dystopian future where bioengineered humans called replicants are created to serve humans. The story follows a new blade runner named K, played by Ryan Gosling, who uncovers a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what's left of society into chaos.

This revelation leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard, the original blade runner from the first film, who has been missing for three decades. K's journey explores themes of identity, humanity, and the blurred line between artificial intelligence and real emotions.
