R.O.T.O.R.

R.O.T.O.R. is a 1989 science fiction action film starring Richard Gesswein, Jayne Smith and Margaret Trigg. The film has been described as a low-budget copy of The Terminator and RoboCop. The story follows a leading scientist in the field of police robotics, Dr. J. Barrett C. Coldyron , whose corrupt boss, Division Commander Earl Buglar , orders an experimental police-robot prototype - dubbed R.O.T.O.R. - to be completed within sixty days at the behest of the shady senator Donald D. Douglas, who intends to take public credit for the project and use it to catapult himself into the White... House. Coldyron warns Buglar that the prototype is several years away from completion but is forced to resign and is replaced by his incompetent assistants, Dr. Houghtaling and his robot Willard. In Coldyron's absence, R.O.T.O.R. is inadvertently activated and put on duty, where it proceeds to execute a motorist for speeding and terrorize his young fiancé, Sonya , who the robot implicated as an accomplice in her boyfriend's violation.
