RoboCop
In an effort to protect the dystopian Detroit streets from violent gangs, a corporation called the Omni Consumer Products (OCP) transforms recently-murdered police officer Alex Murphy into RoboCop, an unstoppable, emotionless machine. Only as the cyborg battles a local crimelord, he slowly regains his humanity…and begins to suspect all is not well at OCP.
