Meanwhile, TOTAL RECALL and STARSHIP TROOPERS director Paul Verhoeven's 1987 cyberpunk action film ROBOCOP starring Peter Weller was based on the screenplay written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, it begins:
In a violent, near-apocalyptic Detroit, evil corporation Omni Consumer Products wins a contract from the city government to privatize the police force. To test their crime-eradicating cyborgs, the company leads street cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller) into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith) so they can use his body to support their untested RoboCop prototype. But when RoboCop learns of the company's nefarious plans, he turns on his masters.
