Overview
In RoboCop, the year is 2028 and multinational conglomerate OmniCorp is at the center of robot technology. Overseas, their drones have been used by the military for years, but have been forbidden for law enforcement in America. Now OmniCorp wants to bring their controversial technology to the home front, and they see a golden opportunity to do it. When Alex Murphy – a loving husband, father and good cop doing his best to stem the tide of crime and corruption in Detroit – is critically injured, OmniCorp sees their chance to build a part-man, part-robot police officer. OmniCorp envisions a RoboCop in every city and even more billions for their shareholders, but they never counted on one thing: there is still a man inside the machine.

Detailed Bias Analysis
Analyzing...
Progressive
Primary
The film is a clear critique of unchecked corporate power and the military-industrial complex, explicitly promoting progressive ideology by highlighting the dehumanizing effects of profit-driven technology and media manipulation.
The movie incorporates visible diversity within its supporting cast, featuring minority actors in significant roles. However, it does not explicitly recast traditionally white main characters. The narrative focuses on themes of corporate power and technological ethics, rather than offering a critique of traditional identities or making DEI themes central to its plot.
Secondary
The character of Alex Murphy's police partner, Anne Lewis, who was female in the original 1987 film, is portrayed as Jack Lewis, a male character, in the 2014 adaptation. This constitutes a gender swap for a significant legacy character.
The character of Alex Murphy's partner, Anne Lewis, who was canonically white in the original 1987 film, is portrayed by a Black actor (Michael K. Williams as Jack Lewis) in the 2014 adaptation, constituting a race swap.
The film 'RoboCop' (2014) does not feature any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its storyline is centered on the transformation of a police officer into a cyborg and the ethical dilemmas surrounding it, without addressing queer identity in any capacity.
The film "RoboCop" (2014) does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Its narrative focuses on themes of corporate control, human augmentation, and the ethics of law enforcement technology, without engaging with transgender identity or experiences.
The film does not feature any scenes where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat, such as hand-to-hand, martial arts, or melee weapon fights. Female characters are present but do not engage in or win such encounters.
