BR1 has an identical plot to every single 80s man-on-the-run slop. "He was the good guy, but the other good guys betrayed him because they were also kind of bad, and now he's a man on the run, and then he kills some of the people chasing him, and he gets away."
The visuals and setting are different, but the way the story unfolds isn't.

Who is the "good guy on the run"? Deckard? He doesn't go rogue until the last few minutes of the film and technically does everything by the book in his investigation. Roy Batty? While a sympathetic villain, I would hardly classify him as a "good guy" running away from the system that slighted him. He is lashing out against humanity as the "unjust creators" and fulfills the role of android Prometheus. The original book doesn't even paint the fugitive replicants in any positive light and mostly focuses on their trademark lack of empathy.
The 1982 film is an attempt to stage a noir film in the future setting. The very first original release even had a voiceover from Deckard explaining what his character was thinking in between scenes, akin to the noir classics. That voiceover is absolutely terrible by the way, as Harrison Ford can't be bothered to act most of the times.
Calling it a "man-on-the-run" film is quite ignorant and betrays your lack of genre knowledge, sorry!
