He must join Erica Long, a diplomatic attaché who is not all that she appears, to work together on setting the correct computer code that will disable the weapon and accomplish the mission. But while watching video monitors from inside a long-forgotten surveillance room, Steve witnesses a surprising deadly takeover of the building by the Serbian Liberation Front.

RoboCop returns to protect the citizens of old Detroit but faces a deadly challenge when a rogue OCP member secretly creates a new, evil RoboCop 2. After a successful deployment of the Robocop Law Enforcement unit, OCP sees its goal of urban pacification come closer and closer, but as this develops, a new narcotic known as "Nuke" invades the streets led by God-delirious leader Cain. As this menace grows, it may prove to be too much for Murphy to handle. OCP tries to replicate the success of the first unit, but ends up with failed prototypes with suicidal issues... until Dr. Faxx, a scientist straying away from OCP's path, uses Cain as the new subject for the Robocop 2 project, a living God. —Aldo Della Rocca Haunted by fragmented memories of his family after the events of RoboCop (1987), Officer Alex Murphy is back in action in nearly bankrupt, crime-infested Detroit. But with a highly addictive synthetic opioid sold on the streets and the giant OCP corporation on the verge of implementing its sinister plan, Murphy is fighting a losing battle. And as delusional psychopath Cain, the fanatical leader of the dangerous Nuke Cult, enters the equation, a technologically superior successor to the city's armoured defender emerges. This time, the odds stack against the metallic patrolman. Is the part-man, part-machine police officer ready for duty? Can the unstoppable RoboCop combat the massive crime wave that has swept Detroit? —Nick Riganas Once again Detroit is ridden by a gang of drug dealers, and Robocop is the only one who can do something about it. When Cain, the chief of the gang, is killed during his confrontation with Robocop, OCP (the company that runs the police) transforms him into Robocop 2, a new android much stronger than the first. Now Murphy has to face him again, because Cain didn't forget who he was. —Chris Makrozahopoulos <makzax@hotmail.com>
