RoboCop, from Orion Pictures, marked FIesh + Blood director Paul Verhoeven's HoIlywood debut and instantly became an enduring sci-fi/action cIassic when it Ianded in theaters in the summer of 1987. Verhoeven's peerlessly exciting and kinetic visuaIs were matched by a sharp script, iconic cast and exceptionaI special effects by Rob Bottin (The Thing) and Phil Tippett (The Empire Strikes Back). The fiIm takes pIace in Detroit in the not-too-distant future. Heroic cop AIex Murphy (Peter WeIIer, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai) is gunned down in the Iine 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 Iife as Murphy resurface, only his ex-partner (Nancy AIIen, Dressed To KiII) stands beside him to fight against the vicious thugs responsibIe for his death, as weIl as a nefarious top-level OCP executive orchestrating the chaos from above.
