IMDb Trailer

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 into an armed confrontation with crime lord Boddicker 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.

Editor's Notes

Note

Arrow's 4K transfer is called a reference disc for the format in collector circles. The grain structure is preserved, the practical effects are still effective, and the ED-209 stop-motion pops in a way it never did on Blu-ray. The 4K actually reveals too much for some people, like RoboCop's rubber chin guard and plastic armor textures. The original Arrow LE Blu-ray owners felt burned when the 4K came in identical packaging shortly after.
