Paul Verhoeven directs this classic sci-fi action feature starring
Peter Weller. Set in the near future, Detroit's soaring crime rate
is unsuccessfully policed by a corporation which plans to build a
new city. When the new 'enforcement droid' proves unworkable, a
murdered cop (Weller) is wired into a computer-controlled titanium
body and set to the task at hand. Unimpressed, 'Robocop' seeks
vengeance on all sides in this violent but often funny tale.

Sci-fi action romp in which a Vegas magician is sought by the
government to help prevent a looming disaster. Cris 'Frank
Cadillac' Johnson (Nicholas Cage) is a Las Vegas stage magician
with the unique ability to foresee the future. This talent he keeps
hidden, instead performing the usual rabbit/hat material. As a
child he was subjected to endless tests and examinations as to the
origins of his baffling talent/affliction so that he has developed
a deep aversion to authority. However, when a terrorist group
threatens to let off a huge nuclear device in Los Angeles, FBI
agent Callie Ferris (Julianne Moore) ferrets the unlikely seer out,
determined that Cadillac's anti-authority streak will not come
before the lives of the people of California. She embarks upon a
campaign to ensnare him using all her womanly wiles. Unfortunately,
two French terrorists also show up at the casino Cris works at,
wanting to know more about his powers of vision.
A triple bill of sci-fi cops. The first film, 'Robocop', is set in
the near future and Detroit's soaring crime rate is unsuccessfully
policed by a corporation which plans to build a new city, if its
workers can go about unmolested. When its new 'enforcement droid'
proves unworkable, a murdered cop (Peter Weller) is wired into a
computer-controlled titanium body and set to the task at hand.
Unimpressed, 'Robocop' seeks vengeance on all sides in this violent
but often funny tale. In the second film, 'Robocop 2', a new model,
Robocop 2 (Tom Noonan), is built while Robocop 1 still patrols the
streets of Detroit. Robocop 2 is given a maniac's 'soul', thereby
setting the stage for a showdown between the two computer
constables. Finally, in 'Robocop 3' Robocop is befriended by a
young girl whose parents have been killed, and after his partner is
killed by the head of a private security firm, he joins a group of
rebels to fight back against the evil businessmen. There is a
notable fight sequence between a plastic-like robot Ninja and the
sluggish metal Robocop, which, together with the rebels hiding out
in the derelict General Motors Factory, constitutes a thinly veiled
critique of the Japanese car industry from the heart of Detroit -
the original motor city.
