Abstract: This paper explores how the concepts of solidarity, framed through the paradigms of redistribution and recognition, manifest within cyberpunk cinema, focusing on Blade Runner (1982) and Blade Runner 2049 (2017). Drawing on the works of Nancy Fraser and Judith Butler, the chapter examines the complex dynamics of solidarity in futuristic scenarios. This analysis highlights how cyberpunk narratives reflect the interdependence of socioeconomic and cultural injustices in shaping solidarity.
