In the US it screens across Alamo Drafthouse theaters and selected independent sites. Select cinemas in France, Austria and Australia are also involved in the reissue.
ROBOCOP, directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith and Ray Wise.

In this classic sci-fi action-adventure, when a good cop gets blown away by ruthless criminals, innovative doctors are able to piece him back together as an unstoppable crime-fighting cyborg called “Robocop.” Equipped with high-tech weaponry, Robocop quickly cleans up the crime-ridden streets of Detroit. But despite his new, hardened exterior, Robocop relives vivid nightmares of his own death at the hands of vicious killers. Now he seeks more that justice…he seeks revenge!
