In a violent, near-apocalyptic Detroit, evil corporation Omni Consumer Products wins a contract from the city government to privatize the police force. To test their crime-eradicating cyborgs, the company leads street cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) so they can use his body to support their untested RoboCop prototype. But when RoboCop learns of the company's nefarious plans, he turns on his masters.

Critics Consensus

A darkly ironic blast of comic book sci-fi, RoboCop fuses scabrous political satire with dazzling action and outrageous gore, rising above its bone-crunching premise through sharp humor, sleek visuals, and an unexpectedly mythical edge.

A fast-paced, action-packed movie version of a comic book for adults.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry about how much I loved every brutal, perverse, demagogic minute of it.

Its pace is zippy, its script is witty and the political satire is acute.

Ugly, confused, yet occasionally quite funny.

Dutch director Paul Verhoeven brings a European's eye to the state of American society and dissects it brilliantly.

Part man, part machine, all cop. And all fun. It is, you might say, and arresting adventure.

I didn't like the movie. A police officer dies and they bring him back to life as a cyborg. Why couldn't the officer of just been allowed to rest in peace. The movie was also unnecessarily violent.

Великолепное кино, включающее и сатиру, и юмор, и жёсткий драйв! Классика жанра Боевиков 80-х годов! Апофеоз карьеры Пола Верховена - как режиссёра, и Питера Уэллера - звезды 80-х.

O filme é mau, o que é uma pena, porque acho que existe um cenário em que ele poderia ter funcionado.
