Robocop features the incredible Peter Weller (who has since earned a Ph.D. at UCLA, in Italian Renaissance art history) as the eponymous cyborg crime-fighting machine.

Detroit was once a Midwestern economic powerhouse but went into precipitous decline and became crime-ridden (it's yet to recover). Whether you blame Reagonomics or the endless succession of Democrat mayors since the 1960s, the D is a shell of its former self.

Anyway, Robocop beautifully showcases a city in decline in this sci fi classic.

We love Detroit though; and we love Robocop.
