A triple bill of sci-fi cops. The first film, “Robocop,” is set in the near future and Detroit's soaring crime rate is unsuccessfully policed by a corporation which plans to build a new city, if its workers can go about unmolested. When its new “enforcement droid” proves unworkable, a murdered cop (Peter Weller) is wired into a computer-controlled titanium body and set to the task at hand. Unimpressed, “RoboCop” seeks vengeance on all sides in this violent but often funny tale.
In the second film, “RoboCop 2,” a new model, RoboCop 2 (Tom Noonan), is built while Robocop 1 still patrols the streets of Detroit. Robocop 2 is given a maniac's “soul,” thereby setting the stage for a showdown between the two computer constables.
Finally, in “RoboCop 3” Robocop is befriended by a young girl whose parents have been killed, and after his partner is killed by the head of a private security firm, he joins a group of rebels to fight back against the evil businessmen.
