Films such as Terminator and Aliens clearly captured the public's attention, but a few lesser-known films have also managed to survive. One such film is Robocop , Paul Verhoeven's take on a future where corporate America runs law enforcement. Without a doubt. Not unless we plan to condemn the likes of Predator and Highlander as well. I choose to remember Robocop as a visionary spectacle that put a human face on America's war against crime.
Crime is rampant, and cops are being killed in the street at an alarming rate.
With Lewis knocked unconscious, Murphy is jumped by members of Boddicker's gang and left for dead. With bullet holes riddled across his body and a near-fatal shot to the skull, Murphy is seen as nothing more than another deceased cop, which happens to be exactly what OCP is looking for. Its goal is to produce the ultimate police officer - part man, part machine. Alex Murphy makes the perfect test subject, and, refitted with body armor and some high-tech computer chips, he is dispatched to rid Old Detroit of crime. Jones turns the police force against Robocop, forcing him and his former partner to run for their lives.
