SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like RoboCop, it turns brutal bodily transformation into a sharp, propulsive revenge thriller, pairing slick near-future tech with grimy street violence and an increasingly uneasy question of who controls the hero.
02
Why this pick
Its sealed-in mega-city nightmare, deadpan authoritarian satire, and unapologetically hard-edged action closely echo RoboCop’s vision of privatized, dehumanized urban law enforcement.
03
Why this pick
A lean, nocturnal machine-versus-human thriller with industrial grit, relentless momentum, and the same potent mix of futuristic hardware and flesh-and-blood vulnerability.
04
Why this pick
Verhoeven again combines explosive genre filmmaking, commercial-world satire, gruesome comic-book violence, and a hero whose identity becomes thrillingly unstable.
05
Why this pick
This cult dystopia shares RoboCop’s corrosive corporate future, scrapyard-industrial visual texture, and hostile machine terror, delivered with a rawer, more hallucinatory B-movie edge.

01 / THE STORY
In a dystopian future Detroit, Michigan, is a struggling city on the verge of total collapse due to financial ruin and a high crime rate. The mayor signs a deal with the mega-corporation RoboCop (franchise)#Omni Consumer Products (OCP), giving it complete control of the underfunded Detroit Police Department. In exchange, OCP will be allowed to turn the run-down sections of Detroit into a high-end utopia called Delta City. OCP's Senior Vice President Richard "Dick" Jones proposes assisting the police with the RoboCop (franchise)#ED-209 law enforcement droid (Star Wars). At its first demonstration, however, ED-209 malfunctions and gruesomely kills an innocent young executive named Kinney. Robert "Bob" Morton, an ambitious executive, uses the opportunity to introduce his own experimental cyborg design, "RoboCop". To Jones's anger, the company chairman—referred to as the Old Man—approves Morton's plan.
