Okay, so the teaser poster we ran earlier this week for RoboCop may have been bunk, but this plot synopsis is not. Of course, if you’ve seen the original ’80s film with Peter Weller, well…then you know what it’s about. The synopsis that has been revealed, however, gives you a better idea of the world we’re going to see when Jose Padilha’s film hits the screen.
In RoboCop, the year is 2029 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Their drones are winning American wars around the globe and now they want to bring this technology to the home front. Alex Murphy is a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit. After he is critically injured in the line of duty, OmniCorp utilizes their remarkable science of robotics to save Alexs life. He returns to the streets of his beloved city with amazing new abilities, but with issues a regular man has never had to face before.
Joel Kinnaman is playing Alex Murphy, Gary Oldman is the scientist who creates RoboCop, Sam Jackson and Abbie Cornish will also star.
