Description of this Robocop Poster
RoboCop is an American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, starring Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith and Miguel Ferrer. Centered on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is killed by a gang of criminals and later revived by the Omni Consumer Products Corporation as a police cyborg named RoboCop takes place in Detroit, Michigan, a location full of of crimes where without realizing his previous life, RoboCop leads a campaign to stop them while accepting the lingering fragments of their humanity2
Neumeier conceived the film when he worked on Blade Runner (1982) and the idea was developed with Miner. Producer Jon Davison, on behalf of Orion Pictures, purchased the script in early 1985, but finding a director was difficult; Verhoeven threw out the script twice because he did not understand its satirical content until his wife convinced him otherwise. Filming took place between August and October 1986, primarily in Dallas, Texas while Rob Bottin led the special effects team in creating practical effects, violent blood and the RoboCop costume. For his part, Verhoeven emphasized violence throughout the film, making it so outlandish that it became comical, although censors believed it was too extreme and several scenes were shortened or edited to guarantee an acceptable kinematic rating
Despite anticipated difficulties in marketing the film, particularly due to its title, was expected to perform well based on pre-release and positive word-of-mouth screenings. And so it was, it unexpectedly became a financial success after its premiere in July 1987, earning $53.4 million. Critics praised it as a satirical and intelligent action film with deep philosophical messages, but conflicted because of the extreme violence exhibited. On the other hand, the feature film received nominations for various awards, winning an Oscar and numerous Saturn Awards.
The success of RoboCop created a franchise including the sequels RoboCop 2 (Nineteen Ninety-Five) and RoboCop 3 (1993) 3 children's animated series, several live-action television shows, 18 video games, 19 comic books, 20 toys, clothing and other products. In 2014, a rebboot of the same name was released, at the same time as a direct sequel to the original film has been in development since 2020, provisionally titled RoboCop Returns and which ignores the other series entries. Additionally, the film has been analyzed for topics such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, greed and corporate corruption, while being seen as a rebuke for the policies of Ronald Reagan.
The film belongs to the cyberpunk subgenre of science fiction.
In a dystopian near future, Detroit is on the brink of social and financial collapse. Overwhelmed by crime and declining resources, the city gives Omni Consumer Products (OCP) control of the Detroit police force. OCP Vice President Dick Jones demonstrates ED-209, a law enforcement robot designed to impersonate police. ED-209 malfunctions and kills an executive, allowing ambitious Bob Morton to present the company's president ("The Old Man") with his own project: RoboCop. Meanwhile, Agent Alex Murphy is transferred to the Metro West precinct, where, with his new partner Anne Lewis, he pursues a dangerous criminal named Clarence Boddicker and his gang. The newcomer is ambushed and tortured by the group of criminals until Boddicker shoots him in the head. Morton transforms Murphy's corpse into RoboCop, a powerful, heavily armored cyborg with no memories of his previous life; It is programmed with three main directives: to serve the public trust, protect the innocent and uphold the law; the fourth is classified.
He is assigned to Metro West and acclaimed by the media for his effective campaign against crime, but Lewis begins to suspect he is Murphy for the unique way he assembles his gun, a trick he learned for his son. During the interview, RoboCop experiences the nightmare of Murphy's death, leaves the station and meets Lewis, who treats him like Murphy. On patrol, arrest Emil; recognizes Murphy's gestures, promoting RoboCop's memory. He returns with Emil to Metro West and uses the police database to identify his associates and Murphy's file. RoboCop remembers more events when he explores Murphy's old house; his family moved. At the same time, Boddicker assassinates Morton at Jones' request to try to usurp his position. The protagonist tracks down the remaining Boddicker gang and a shootout occurs: he brutally attacks the leader, who admits to being employed by Jones. RoboCop tries to kill the bad guy, but his schedule tells him to follow the law. He attempts to arrest Jones at the OCP Tower and activates the Fourth Directive, a security mechanism to incapacitate him when he acts against a corporate executive. Jones admits his guilt in Morton's death and launches ED-209 to destroy RoboCop; Although he escapes, he is attacked by police forces on the orders of the OCP and is severely damaged. Lewis helps him get to an abandoned steel mill.
Furious at the PAO's lack of funds and staffing shortages, the police force went on strike and Detroit descended into chaos as riots broke out across the city. Jones frees Boddicker and his gang, equipping them with high-powered weapons to destroy RoboCop. Boddicker's men are quickly eliminated by Robocop and Lewis, but she ends up seriously injured and the cyborg is trapped under steel beams. However, he kills Boddicker by stabbing him in the throat. RoboCop confronts Jones at OCP Tower during a board meeting, revealing the truth behind Morton's murder. Jones takes "The Old Man" hostage and is immediately fired from OCP, exceeding the Fourth Directive, allowing him to shoot him and crash into a window falling to his death. The President congratulates RoboCop on his goal and asks him his name, to which he replies: "Murphy.".
