Young began her film career in ''[[Jane Austen in Manhattan]]'' (1980), followed by a role in the film ''[[Stripes (film)|Stripes]]'' (1981). She then played the female lead, Rachael, alongside [[Harrison Ford]] in the classic [[science fiction]] film ''[[Blade Runner]]'' (1982). On television, Young played the female lead opposite [[Lenny Von Dohlen]] in ''Under the Biltmore Clock'' (1986), based on [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]]'s story ''Myra Meets His Family''. The following year, she had a small role in the film ''[[Wall Street (1987 film)|Wall Street]]'' (1987) as the wife of [[Michael Douglas]]'s character, [[Gordon Gekko]]. Her role was originally intended to be larger, but was significantly reduced due to clashes with [[Oliver Stone]].<ref name="comeback">{{cite news|last=Valby|first=Karen|date=September 21, 2007|title=Sean Young: 'I'm a Comeback Waiting To Happen'|publisher=EW.com|url=

She was next cast as [[Vicki Vale]] in [[Tim Burton]]'s film ''[[Batman (1989 film)|Batman]]'' (1989), but during rehearsals, she broke her arm after falling off a horse and was replaced by [[Kim Basinger]]. In an unsuccessful attempt to win the role of [[Catwoman]] (which was originally offered to [[Annette Bening]] but, after Bening became pregnant, [[Michelle Pfeiffer]] was cast) in the sequel ''[[Batman Returns]]'' (1992), Young constructed a homemade Catwoman costume and attempted to contact Burton and actor [[Michael Keaton]] during production.<ref name="comeback" /> She appeared on ''[[The Joan Rivers Show]]'' in character as the Catwoman, campaigning for the role and making a plea to Tim Burton.
