    Come to fabulous, futuristic Detroit. Where criminals run wild, Omni Consumer Products own everything, and robotic officers of the law are the norm. That’s where Alex Murphy comes in, the once dead cop has been resurrected in a suit of steel to be the next lab-rat in a departmental test to clean the streets. All’s well until Metallic Murphy starts to remember...everything. Now this tin-man doesn’t just want an oil can, he wants a blood bath. It’s open season on the ones who killed him, and the ones who brought him back. Written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, Directed by Paul Verhoeven, and partly filmed in the Dallas and Irving areas, ROBOCOP is a film about one man’s justice, and one machine’s vengeance. “Most thriller and special-effects movies come right off the assembly line. You can call out every development in advance, and usually be right. ROBOCOP is a thriller with a difference.” – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
