Uncut version of Paul Verhoeven's hard-hitting science fiction milestone from 1986.

Following the privatization of the police force, Detroit's fight against crime will soon be in the hands of the mega-corporation OCP, which promises the perfect law enforcement officer in the form of the ED-209 combat robot. But when a malfunction during the presentation of the machine leads to a fatal accident, the management gives the green light for the further development of an alternative security concept: a massive cyborg is to ensure law and order on the streets as "RoboCop". To bring the humanoid robot to life, it is implanted with the brain of police officer Alex Murphy (Peter Weller), who was fatally wounded during an operation. But Murphy's memory was not completely erased during the transplant. Haunted by flashing memories, RoboCop sets off on his own initiative in search of the murderers of his former self.
