Blade Runner will take over Capital One Hall on Friday, Nov. 13, pairing Ridley Scott’s science-fiction classic with a live performance of Vangelis’ celebrated electronic score.

The 7:30 p.m. presentation will feature the film’s 2007 Final Cut on a large HD screen while The Avex Ensemble performs the music in synchronization with the movie.

Set in a futuristic Los Angeles, the noir thriller stars Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a blade runner assigned to hunt rogue replicants who have returned to Earth. His encounter with Rachel, played by Sean Young, complicates the mission and challenges his understanding of replicants.

The full R-rated film will be shown with subtitles. Although the event is billed as an FSO Presents show, it will not feature the full symphony orchestra.

Avex Classics International produced the live presentation by arrangement with Warner Bros. Tickets are on sale through Capital One Hall’s website.
