Minority Report Movie Synopsis
In Washington, D.C., in the year 2054, murder has been eliminated. The future is seen and the guilty punished before the crime has ever been committed. From a nexus deep within the Justice Department's elite Precrime Unit, all the evidence to convict -- from imagery alluding to the time, place and other details -- is seen by "Pre-Cogs," three psychic beings whose visions of murder have never been wrong.
It is the nation's most advanced crime force, a perfect system. And no-one works harder for Precrime than its top man, Chief John Anderton (Cruise). Destroyed by a tragic loss, Anderton has thrown all of his passion into a system that could potentially spare thousands of people from the tragedy he lived through. Six years later, the coming vote to take it national has only fuelled his conviction that Precrime works.
Anderton has no reason to doubt it... until he becomes its #1 suspect.
Based on a short story by Philip K. Dick.
very unique concept..good movie
i found this movie very confusing. the movie was pretty predictable and the `system` pre-crime was messed up from the start. never again will i waste my money on a movie like this...let alone a movie that contains Tom Cruise.
I was excited to see Colin Farrell as the bad guy. I fell in love with him in American Outlaws. Cruise and Speilberg totally deliver as they always do. If you`re a fan of the duo, then you`ll love the film.
