The Future Of Law Enforcement.
A sadistic crime wave is sweeping across America, In Old Detroit, the situation is so bad that a private corporation, Security Concepts, Inc. has assumed control of the police force.
The executives at the company think they have the answer–until the enforcement droid they create kills one of their own. Then an ambitious young executive seizes the opportunity. He and his research team a law enforcement cyborg from the body of a slain officer. They program RoboCop to 1) Serve the public trust. 2) Uphold the law. 3) Protect the innocent.
All goes well at first, RoboCop stops every sleaze ball he encounters with deadly, piercing, and sometimes gruesome accuracy. But there are forces on the street–and within Security Concepts itself–that will stop at nothing to see this super cyborg violently eliminated.
