20 Movies That Were Supposed to Flop But Became Cult Classics Overnight

Ridley Scott’s science fiction film, Blade Runner, initially puzzled both audiences and critics. Starring Harrison Ford, the movie follows a blade runner tasked with tracking down rebellious artificial humans in a futuristic, rain-soaked Los Angeles. The studio altered the first release with a voiceover and a more upbeat ending, hoping to make it more appealing. However, fans eventually preferred the film’s original, grimmer vision, which was restored in later director’s cuts. Its stunning visuals and thought-provoking themes have since cemented its place as a classic of the science fiction genre.
