Answer:

science fiction film, Blade Runner, which introduced film audiences to the subgenre of cyberpunk (or more precisely biopunk) -- a variety of dystopian science fiction set in futuristic metropolises in which the powerful enjoy immense luxury while most people live in a dirty, bleak, and impoverished environment. Against this backdrop, the plots of both films draw heavily on the Mystery/Crime genre.

Blade Runner 2049 takes place in a world where genetic engineering has made it possible to manufacture artificial people called "replicants" who are stronger than humans but cannot reproduce naturally. The replicants are treated as mere commodities -- slaves who can be killed by their owners at any moment and without remorse. Special police officers tasked with killing (or "retiring") renegade replicants are called blade runners. Like its predecessor, the film is concerned with the definition and value of human life

In Blade Runner 2049, we find that several important things have happened in this world since the previous film:

1. The job of blade runner has been handed over to a new generation of replicants. Unlike the early replicants who lived for only a few years, the new replicants have full lifespans and are programmed to obey their owners. However, they are not just property. They have private homes and can earn and spend money.

2. A new type of artificial human has been introduced to the world -- holographic people with artificial intelligence and personalities. Existing only as software and projections, they are tied to hardware boxes called "eminators." Lacking solid bodies, they cannot do physical labour or serve as prostitutes the way replicants can. They are marketed as companions to lonely men (presumably both replicants and humans).

3. Thirty years ago, a replicant woman named Rachael gave birth, something no other replicant has ever done. The father was Deckard, an arguably human blade runner. Deckard and Rachael were major characters in the first Blade Runner film.

Blade Runner 2049 concerns the threat to the world order posed by the existence of Deckard and Rachael's child, and what the various characters choose to do about it.

I will attempt to analyze the story from the perspective of Dramatica, as an illustration of how the theory works. I hope you have seen the film, because there will be spoilers. (If you haven't seen it, you can get more information at the internet movie database.) Also, I will do a little speculation on areas the film leaves ambiguous.Step-by-step explanation:
