In the first film (1987), a terminally wounded copnamed Murpy in crime-ridden Detroit is transformed into cyborg to fight crime, but still has memories of his previous life.  In the sequel(1990), co-written by comic book writer and artist Frank MIller, corporate baddy OCP wants to replace him with a completely inhuman model of cyborg. In the third film (1993), Robocop takes on ruthless developers who want to evict some people on "their" land.
