In this scene from Robocop, a human cop dies (horribly, at the hands of thugs), and nothing remains of his physical body except his barely-surviving noos, his capacity for memory. Fortunately for our cop, a team of scientists puts him back together again (think: Humpy Dumpty) and he emerges Robocop, with the noos of a man, but with the strength of a cyborg. Notice that when Robocop undergoes his re-birth, his final thoughts are of his wife and child--his philoi. Compare this to Odysseus' rebirth on the island of Ithaka, Odyssey 13.77: "Thereon, when they began rowing out to sea, Odysseus fell into a deep, sweet, and almost deathlike slumber." After his rebirth, Odysseus can now concentrate on winning back his philoi through dikê: righteousness (backed with plenty of firepower). A nice touch in the clip is that Robocop is put back together over the course of a January First: he is quite literally baby-new year, and finds an appropriate season, hora, for his re-birth.
Robocop's first exercise of dikê is to stop a robbery in progress at (appropriately enough) a Ma-and-Pop convenience store. This greatly offends Robocop's sense of fair play, and he is ruthless (and remarkably efficient) in his arrest of the stranger (xenos) who attempts to harm these innocent bystanders. I'm particularly tickled by Robocop's final injuction: "Have a nice day": even dikê needs to be said with a smile.
