Robocop is coming to 4K to follow his prime directives in jawdropping clarity. The special edition release from Arrow Video is coming to the 4K format for the first time. Best of all this release includes both the director’s cut and theatrical cut.

Paul Verhoeven’s film shook up the 80’s with its satirical over the top take on a post Ronald Regan era. It also managed to gain a toyline, a cartoon and a ton of other very cool merchandise. The film ended up spawning a couple of sequels as well as a live action TV series.

The synopsis for Robocop goes like this:

The film takes place in Detroit in the not-too-distant future. Heroic cop Alex Murphy (Peter Weller, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai) is gunned down in the line of duty, only to be resurrected as RoboCop – a cybernetic mix of spare human parts and Motor City steel, and the latest defense against crime designed by the all-powerful OCP Corporation. As RoboCop’s memories of his former life as Murphy resurface, only his ex-partner (Nancy Allen, Dressed To Kill) stands beside him to fight against the vicious thugs responsible for his death, as well as a nefarious top-level OCP executive orchestrating the chaos from above.
