In the 1987 film 'RoboCop', what is the name of the corporation that creates RoboCop?
Answer
Omni Consumer Products
In the 1987 film RoboCop, the corporation that creates RoboCop is Omni Consumer Products, usually abbreviated as OCP.
OCP is a fictional megacorporation that has taken over public services in a dystopian Detroit. Its Security Concepts division develops RoboCop as a solution to the city’s overwhelmed and dangerous police force. The project uses the body of police officer Alex Murphy, who is fatally injured in the line of duty and rebuilt as a cyborg law-enforcement unit.
OCP is more than a manufacturer: it funds and manages the Detroit Police Department and pursues the construction of Delta City. The corporation’s profit-driven policies are central to the film’s satire of privatization, corporate power, consumer culture, and militarized policing.
The distractors come from other science-fiction franchises. Cyberdyne Systems belongs to Terminator, Tyrell Corporation to Blade Runner, and Weyland-Yutani to Alien. OCP is also associated with the ED-209 enforcement robot.
