Films Of Future Past

Detroit... in a near-apocalyptic future. A cop who dies in the line of duty is transformed into a chrome-plated, indestructible crime-fighter by the corporation which now runs the police department. But when RoboCop learns of the company's nefarious plans, he turns on his masters.

Called by Ken Russell “the greatest science-fiction film since Metropolis,” controversial director Paul Verhoeven’s RoboCop is a special effects-laden cult phenomenon. The film features a resurrected and roboticized hero (Peter Weller) in a new, supercharged cyborg body, struggling to reclaim his memory and avenge his own death. Written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, this film is a grown-up superhero fantasy come to vivid, bloody life.

Restored in 4k, see this groundbreaking 1987 classic in Verhoeven's unrated director's cut, including "excessively violent" shots cut from the theatrical release to avoid an X rating.
