Part of See It Big! Science Fiction (Part Two)
Friday, June 27, 2014, 7:00 p.m.

Dir. Paul Verhoeven. 1987, 102 mins. With Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Dan O'Herlihy. “The future has a silver lining” promises a billboard in the background of Robocop. By borrowing The Terminator’s tech-noir aesthetic and outfitting it with a number of key factory extras—including a satirical engine churning away underneath the various brutally effective action set pieces—Paul Verhoeven and his collaborators created the late-1980s Hollywood vehicle par excellence.

Tickets for Friday evening screenings: $12 ($9 for senior citizens and students / free for Museum members) and includes admission to the Museum's galleries, which are open until 8:00 p.m. For more information on membership and to join online, visit our membership page.
