This being RoboCop, restoring peace is done with little subtlety. Enter Detroit’s shiny robot cop and his partner, Agent Anne Lewis, who are called to quell the disturbance and hunt down the gang’s leader, Soot. This band of criminals is heavily tied to Nuke, the highly-addictive narcotic from RoboCop 2, and they proceed to take the Channel 9 news team hostage.
Rogue City opens with a now-familiar satirical news segment, which is interrupted by a gang of punky thugs dubbed the Torch Heads.
