Plots(1)
When an honest cop (Peter Weller) is killed in the line of duty, the embattled Detroit Police Department of the future brings him back to life as RoboCop, the latest in cyborg technology. Programmed to be the ultimate law enforcer, RoboCop's not supposed to remember his human past - but memories of life, love and family are flooding in, blurring the line between man and machine, even as RoboCop sweeps the streets of "scum."
