Blade Runner (2017)

Blade Runner

In-fiction date: 1/8/2016

January 8, 2016 is the incept date of Roy Batty, the Nexus-6 combat replicant who leads the rogue replicants in their desperate quest for more life. His four-year lifespan expires during the film's climax, when — rather than killing the blade runner hunting him — he delivers the 'Tears in Rain' soliloquy and dies peacefully: 'All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.'

Jun 12, 2016 June 12, 2016 is the incept date of Zhora, a Nexus-6 combat replicant trained as an assassin who is found working as an exotic dancer in Los Angeles under an assumed name. In the world of Blade Runner, an incept date functions as a birth certificate for an artificially created person given a four-year lifespan — making Zhora, like all Nexus-6 models, a fugitive living on borrowed time.
