“RoboCop” takes place in 2028, a multinational corporation called Omni Corp is rapidly emerging with the most robotics technology. Meanwhile, Alex Murphy, who is a husband loves his wife and children, keeps the task of protecting Detroit city from infamous criminals. In a mission, Alex is seriously injured and Omni Corp help him be revived by their technology. Returning to be a policeman with superior ability but Alex has to face things that he has never encountered before…
Most older viewers will probably feel that RoboCop cannot match Verhoeven's satirical originality, but the computer age has made the core ethos more relevant to contemporary society.
What is Robocop? He's a quadriplegic Ironman without the rocket-booster. And both Robocop and Ironman are basically Terminators. Robocop 2.0 has better armor, but less fun.

It's well made, polished, and hits every mark - but is it crazy to want a futuristic sci-fi action flick about a motorcycle-riding metal supercop to be just a little more fun?
