ED-209 malfunctions and brutally kills an executive, allowing ambitious junior executive Bob Morton to introduce the Chairman ('The Old Man') to his own project: RoboCop. OCP Senior President Dick Jones demonstrates ED-209, a law enforcement droid designed to supplant the police. Overwhelmed by crime and dwindling resources, the city grants the mega-corporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) control over the Detroit Police Department. In a near-future dystopia, Detroit is on the brink of societal and financial collapse. Its success created a franchise, comprising the sequels RoboCop 2 (1990) and RoboCop 3 (1993), children's animated series, multiple live-action television shows, video games, comic books, toys, clothing and other merchandise. RoboCop has continued to be analyzed for themes such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the Reaganomics policies of its era. The film has been lauded for its depiction of a robot affected by the loss of humanity, in contrast to the stoic and emotionless robotic characters of that era. Since its release, RoboCop has been critically reevaluated and it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s, and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made. The film was nominated for several awards, and won an Academy Award, as well as numerous Saturn Awards. Reviews praised it as a clever action film with deeper philosophical messages and satire, but were more conflicted over the extreme violence throughout. RoboCop was a financial success upon its release in July 1987, earning $53.4 million. Even so, censorship boards believed it was too extreme, and several scenes were shortened or modified to secure an acceptable theatrical rating. Verhoeven emphasized violence throughout the film, making it so outlandish that it became comical. Rob Bottin led the special-effects team in creating practical effects, violent gore and the RoboCop costume. Filming took place between August and October 1986, mainly in Dallas, Texas. Finding a director proved difficult Verhoeven dismissed the script twice because he did not understand its satirical content, until convinced of it by his wife. Their script was purchased in early 1985 by producer Jon Davison on behalf of Orion Pictures. The film was conceived by Neumeier while working on the set of Blade Runner (1982), and he developed the idea further with Miner. Unaware of his former life, RoboCop executes a brutal campaign against crime while coming to terms with the lingering fragments of his humanity. Set in a crime-ridden Detroit in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals and subsequently revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. The film stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer.

RoboCop is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner.
