PART MAN, PART MACHINE, ALL COP.
RoboCop, from Orion Pictures, marked + Blood director Paul
Verhoeven s Hollywood debut and instantly became an enduring
sci-fi/action classic when it landed in theaters in the summer of
1987. Verhoeven s peerlessly exciting and kinetic visuals were
matched by a sharp script, iconic cast and exceptional special
effects by Rob Bottin (The Thing) and Phil Tippett (The Empire
Strikes Back).
The film takes place in Detroit in the not-too-distant future.
Heroic cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller, The Adventures of Buckaroo
Banzai) is ned down in the line of duty, only to be
resurrected as RoboCop a cybernetic mix of spare human parts and
Motor City steel, and the latest defense against crime designed
by the all-powerful OCP Corporation. As RoboCop s memories of his
former life as Murphy resurface, only his ex-partner (Nancy
Allen, Dressed To Kill) stands beside him to fight against the
vicious thugs responsible for his death, as well as a nefarious
top-level OCP executive orchestrating the chaos from above.
Unsurpassably thrilling, unexpectedly moving and unforgettably
hilarious in equal measure, the future of law is back
in a definitive Blu-rayTM presentation packed with hours of brand
new bonus features and exclusive collectable packaging.
