RoboCop

Called by Ken Russell “the greatest science-fiction film since METROPOLIS,” ROBOCOP is a special effects-laden cult phenomenon. Directed by controversial filmmaker Paul Verhoeven, 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.
