Plot
While rescuing hostages at the Channel 9 news studio from Soot and the Torch Heads, RoboCop suffers visions of his past life as Alex Murphy and hallucinates a female hostage as Murphy's wife, causing him to hesitate and forcing Lewis to directly intervene. As RoboCop's breakdown was captured on film and resulted in a wave of bad press, OCP assigns Max Becker as RoboCop's overseer, installing a monitoring chip in his head to evaluate his performance.
As Sergeant Reed briefs his squad on the rising threat of the "New Guy", RoboCop is sent to locate and interrogate Soot. He and Lewis track Soot to an abandoned slaughterhouse where a Torch Head concert is in progress. As RoboCop apprehends Soot, Lewis is taken hostage by the "New Guy", who kills Soot for drawing too much attention with the studio attack, while RoboCop mysteriously malfunctions again. The "New Guy" identifies himself as Wendell Antonowsky, brother of Emil Antonowsky (one of Clarence Boddicker's gang members who was killed in RoboCop). Criticizing RoboCop for his attachment to his human side, he shoots Lewis in the chest, leaving her comatose.
Determined to seek justice for Lewis, RoboCop uncovers a connection between Wendell and the Street Vultures, raiding their territory by a steel mill and quarry. He discovers multiple corpses once reported stolen from the city morgue and hospital, including a police officer reported missing. RoboCop calls for backup, along with a ED-209 unit to storm the hideout, but the ED-209 malfunctions and attacks the police instead, allowing the Vultures to escape. Autopsies reveal that the bodies found in the quarry were brought there by the Vultures, and later had their brains extracted by Wendell. RoboCop tracks down and arrests Wendell as Lewis awakens from her coma. Meanwhile, The Old Man suffers a heart attack and later passes away.
In City Prison, RoboCop learns from Wendell he was hired by OCP for "Project Afterlife", the extracted brains being used as part of a mass resurrection program inspired by RoboCop and orchestrated by The Old Man. Mercenaries later attack the prison and free Wendell during a riot, while Becker takes over as OCP's new CEO. Becker unveils his Urban Enforcement Droids (UEDs) meant to replace the police force, which Wendell later hijacks in retaliation for Becker terminating Project Afterlife. As RoboCop once again tracks down Wendell and confronts him, he discovers that the monitoring chip installed by Becker is triggered by Wendell's lighter to degrade RoboCop's mind and prevent him from accosting Wendell. RoboCop removes the chip and pursues Wendell amidst the chaos caused by the gangs, mercenaries and hijacked UEDs. Tracking him down to the first construction site of Delta City, the pursuit ends with RoboCop finally killing him.
RoboCop then receives a call that the OCP main office is under attack. He arrives to find Becker being held by a RoboCop 2, which plays a video message from The Old Man, revealing that he has uploaded his brain into RoboCop 2. The Old Man explains that he did it after being inspired by Robocop and kills Becker by crushing his windpipe. RoboCop fights and defeats RoboCop 2 in a grueling battle that destroys the OCP building. In the aftermath, OCP is considered for buyout by the Japanese corporation Kanemitsu, leading into the events of the third film.
