RoboCop 2 is a 1990 American science fiction action film[7] directed by Irvin Kershner and written by Frank Miller and Walon Green. It stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy, Belinda Bauer, Tom Noonan and Gabriel Damon. It is the sequel to the 1987 film RoboCop,[8] the second entry in the RoboCop franchise, the last to feature Weller as RoboCop, and the last film Kershner directed before his death in 2010.

Set in a dystopian Detroit, the plot follows RoboCop (Weller) as he becomes embroiled in a scheme made by Omni Consumer Products to bankrupt and take over the city while also fighting the spread of a street drug and its gang of dealers led by Cain (Noonan). The film was shot on-location in Houston.[9]

While receiving mixed reviews,[10] the film received attention in 2013 from news media, due to its plot predicting Detroit filing for bankruptcy in the future.[11] It was nominated for three Saturn Awards, including Best Science Fiction Film, Best Performance by a Younger Actor (for Damon), and Best Special Effects (for Phil Tippett, Rob Bottin and Peter Kuran). A sequel, RoboCop 3, was released in 1993.
