RoboCop
The new RoboCop is a 2014 American science fiction action film on DVD, a
remake of the 1987 film of the same name and reboot of the RoboCop
franchise.

Jackson.
In 2028 Detroit, when Alex Murphy (Joel Kinnaman) – a loving husband,
father and good cop – is critically injured in the line of duty, the
multinational conglomerate OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot
police officer. In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate
OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been
used by the military for years – and it's meant billions for
OmniCorp's bottom line.
Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front,
and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy (Joel
Kinnaman) – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the
tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured in the line
of duty, OmniCorp sees their chance for a part-man, part-robot police
officer.
OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their
shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside
the machine pursuing justice.
