Witness the return of ‘RoboCop’ – An ’80s action classic gets the remake treatment.

An ’80s action classic gets the remake treatment. RoboCop returns to the silver screen with an updated take from director José Padilha (Elite Squad: The Enemy Within). The film roughly follows the same plotline of the original, where a critically injured cop becomes part-man, part-robot in a corporation’s scheme to bring new technology to police work. However, with updates in CGI and special effects as well as a supporting cast featuring Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton and Samuel L. Jackson, this could be a rare remake that rivals its original. Joel Kinnaman plays the title character. Rated PG-13. View the trailer below.
