Alex's life. What they've created out of him is part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a ROBOCOP in
every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never
counted on one

justice! 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!

ROBOCOP TIDBITS
It took a lot of time for this remake to happen since it was first announced back in 2005 with Darren Aronofsky behind the helm. At first the studio wanted a big star in the lead role and Tom Cruise, 
Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves were all rumoured for the role. Russell Crowe and Michael Fassbender were also in the run later on, with Hugh Laurie, Clive Owen, Ed Norton, Jessica Alba all mentioned for the supporting roles.
