Computers clicking, transistors scrambling, Peter Weller steps forward to battle evil as RoboCop.  In the near future, Detroit, Michigan is on the verge of collapse due to financial ruin and unchecked crime. The mega-corporation Omni Consumer Products (OCP) enters into a contract with the city to run the police force. OCP plans to demolish "Old Detroit" and redevelop it as a high-end utopia called "Delta City." To address the city's crime, OCP tests several projects to engineer robotic law enforcement. With Delta City's construction scheduled to begin within months, the OCP Chairman (Dan O'Herlihy) immediately advances an alternative put forth by an ambitious, middle-ranking executive named Bob Morton (Miguel Ferrer).

Morton calls his cyborg project: "RoboCop."  Veteran police officer, Alex J. Murphy (Peter Weller), is transferred to a new precinct in Old Detroit and is partnered with Officer Ann Lewis (Nancy Allen). On their first patrol, they chase down a team of miscreants led by crime boss, Clarence Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith), to an abandoned steel mill. After Lewis is knocked unconscious by one of the gang, the rest of Boddicker's thugs corner Murphy and brutally murder him. Murphy is pronounced dead at the hospital, and OCP subsequently harvests his bodily remains to construct the first RoboCop.

RoboCop single-handedly deals with violent crime in the city according to three simple directives programmed by the engineers (Serve the public trust, Protect the innocent, and Uphold the law) along with a fourth, classified directive. The RoboCop project is hailed by the media, and Morton is promoted to vice president (which draws the ire of Jones). However, unbeknownst to the OCP engineers, remnants of RoboCop's life as Murphy have survived the memory wipe, including brief glimpses of his wife and son and the habit of twirling his gun before holstering it.

The success of RoboCop created a franchise comprising the sequels RoboCop 2 and RoboCop 3, children's animated series, multiple live-action television shows, video games, comic books, toys, clothing, and other merchandise. A reboot, also called RoboCop, was released in 2014. A direct sequel to the original 1987 film, tentatively titled RoboCop Returns, is in development as of 2020; it ignores other entries in the series. Since its release, the film has been analyzed for themes including the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed, and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the policies of Ronald Reagan.

RoboCop Returns is an upcoming film, intended to be a direct sequel to RoboCop (1987).

In January 2018, it was reported that a film was being written by Edward Neumeier, intended to be a sequel to the 1987 film, ignoring the subsequent films in the franchise.

In July, it was reported that Neill Blomkamp was attached to direct RoboCop Returns, with Justin Rhodes rewriting a script originally penned by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, who are to serve as producers.

In November, it was reported that Peter Weller was not interested in reprising the titular role. However, the following April, Weller disclosed that he was in talks to be in the film, stating, "If the money is right, I’ll do anything with RoboCop."

In August, Blomkamp announced he had stepped down from the film. In November, it was announced that Blomkamp had been replaced by Abe Forsythe.

A 2014 reboot of the 1987 original, also called RoboCop, was directed by José Padilha and features Joel Kinnaman in the title role. The film received mixed reviews but was a financial success. Verhoeven said that he "should be dead" before a reboot was attempted, and Allen believed an "iconic" film should not be remade.

RoboCop Returns, a direct sequel to RoboCop that ignores the series' other films, is in development. The film is set to be directed by Abe Forsythe, who is rewriting a script written by Neumeier, Miner, and Justin Rhodes. In 2020, Ed Neumeier revealed to MovieHole that a RoboCop prequel TV series is in development, which will focus on a young Dick Jones and the rise of Omni Consumer Products.
