OCP (film)

OCP most commonly refers to Omni Consumer Products, a fictional megacorporation featured prominently in the RoboCop film franchise. OCP is depicted as a powerful and ruthless entity with diverse interests, including urban development, law enforcement, and military technology.

In the original 1987 film RoboCop, OCP is the driving force behind the Delta City project, an ambitious plan to replace the crime-ridden city of Detroit with a modern, privately-run metropolis. To achieve this, OCP seeks to privatize the police force, leading to the creation of RoboCop, a cyborg law enforcement officer created from the remains of a murdered police officer.

OCP's characterization varies somewhat throughout the RoboCop franchise, but it generally remains a symbol of corporate greed, unchecked power, and the potential dangers of unchecked privatization. It is often portrayed as prioritizing profits over human lives and engaging in unethical and illegal activities to achieve its goals. The company’s executives are frequently portrayed as callous and self-serving.

The name "Omni Consumer Products" itself is satirical, reflecting the corporation’s vast and diverse holdings and its pervasive influence on society. The corporation appears in RoboCop (1987), RoboCop 2 (1990), RoboCop 3 (1993), the animated and live-action television series, as well as the 2014 reboot of RoboCop. Its influence and control are central themes within the franchise.
