Robocop is about a good police officer that was brought back to life after being killed by feared gang leader in Detroit. The Omni Consumer Products (OCP) that runs Detroit Police Department, offers a new solution against the well-armed criminals in the city by building an almost inexterminable ED 209 robot combining the body of Murphy with the high tech gadgets and weaponry to dispatch the city criminals. The scientists rewires Murphy's brains with computer chips for communication control and self-organization system that blocks up his memories. However, his former partner, Officer Lewis recognized RoboCop's body that started to reveal his true identity.


RoboCop film has a well-written plot and action-packed stunts, a very fitting entertainment for the action movie aficionados.


It's also entertaining that there's a heart breaking scene in this movie where RoboCop visits his former house without the chance of getting back what he had left before.


This may be the first high-profile movie directed by Verhoeven but it was directed well with a sense of smooth style and appeal that made RoboCop a great action movie. By its good remarks, it is considered as one of the best action movies of its genre and it was followed by movie sequels and RoboCop TV series.
