Minority Report
Minority Report is a 2002 American science fiction action thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen, who loosely based the screenplay on Philip K. Dick's 1956 novella "The Minority Report". It stars Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, and Max von Sydow. The film takes place in 2054 in the Washington metropolitan area, where a specialized police "precrime" department apprehends would-be criminals with the use of foreknowledge provided by three psychics called "precogs".
Plot
In 2054, the federal government plans to nationally implement the Washington, D.C., prototype "Precrime" police program, which has been operating for six years. Three clairvoyant humans ("precogs") receive psychic impressions of an impending homicide, and officers analyze their visions to determine the location and apprehend the perpetrator before the crime can occur. Would-be killers are placed in an electrically induced coma and held in a panopticon-like prison facility. Although Precrime has eliminated nearly all premeditated murders during its six-year existence, spontaneous crimes of passion called "red ball" killings still occur, giving the police only a short time to act. Precrime chief John Anderton led a tactical unit to take down an angry husband who tried to kill his wife and lover after discovering their affair.
