- Philip K. Dick (short story)
- David Webb Peoples
Soldier is a 1998 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Anderson and written by David Webb Peoples, who co-wrote the script for Blade Runner. Peoples considers Soldier to be a "sidequel"/spiritual successor to Blade Runner.[4] It obliquely references various elements of stories written by Philip K. Dick (who wrote the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?", on which Blade Runner is based), or film adaptations thereof. A "Spinner" vehicle from Blade Runner can be seen in the wreckage on a junk planet that features in Soldier.[5] It stars Kurt Russell , Jason Scott Lee, Jason Isaacs, Connie Nielsen and Sean Pertwee. The film was released in the United States on October 23, 1998.

In a futuristic society, some people are selected at birth to become soldiers, and trained in such a manner that they become inhuman killing machines. One of the most succesfull and older of these soldiers (Kurt Russell) is pitted against a new breed of soldiers, and after the confrontation is believed to be dead. His body is left behind in a semi-abandoned colonial planet, where everything is peaceful, and he is taught about the other aspects of life. But eventually he has to fight the new breed of soldiers again, this time to defend his new home...[1]
