The main plot of RoboCop 2 is the title character’s struggle to regain the humanity that many characters in the film felt he lost when he was turned into RoboCop (a cyborg combining the brain and other tissue from the corpse of a murdered police officer, Alex Murphy, with a primarily robotic body) in the first film.
One sub-plot, introduced at the beginning of the movie, concerns the consequences of RoboCop’s realization of his former identity, and his impotent attempt to reach out to his family. Having found out where they moved after he was killed, he drives by their house, greatly distressing his former wife. She eventually complains and threatens to sue OCP, so they allow her to see him. Beforehand, Holzgang (Jeff McCarthy), an OCP lawyer, insistently reminds RoboCop that he could never have his life back as Alex Murphy and that he is a machine. Upon seeing his wife, he tells her that the face was placed on him to honor the dead Alex Murphy and that he is just a machine. Though impassive in the face of her sadness and confusion, he watches intently as she leaves his life permanently.
The overarching plot of the movie concerns OCP’s attempt to cause the old City of Detroit to default on its debt, so that OCP can foreclose, take over the city government, demolish the old city, and put up a planned community (Delta City) in its place. As part of this plan, it forces a police strike by terminating their pension plan and cutting salaries by 40%. As RoboCop cannot go on strike, this merely increases his duties as the city sinks further into chaos and terror.
Meanwhile, the Security Concepts division of OCP continues to sink tens of millions of dollars into the development of a more advanced and stronger cyborg — a “RoboCop 2.” Each project ends up a disaster; once the transformed officers realize what they have become, they immediately turn suicidal (one shoots the scientists around him before killing himself, and another tears its own helmet face off). Murphy only survived and adapted because of his exceedingly strong sense of duty to the law and his moral objection to suicide as an Irish-Catholic. Therefore, the scientists come up with a new idea — a criminal with a similar overcoming desire: a desire for power and immortality, regardless of the cost. Read more
