Based
on a short story by the late Philip K. Dick, this science fiction-thriller
reflects the writer's familiar preoccupation with themes of concealed
identity and mind control. Tom Cruise stars as John Anderton, a Washington,
D.C. detective in the year 2054. Anderton works for "Precrime," a special
unit of the police department that arrests murderers before they have
committed the actual crime. Precrime bases its work on the visions of three
psychics or "precogs" whose prophecies of future events are never in error.
When Anderton discovers that he has been identified as the future killer of
a man he's never met, he is forced to become a fugitive from his own
colleagues as he tries to uncover the mystery of the victim-to-be's
identity. When he kidnaps Agatha (Samantha Morton), one of the precogs, he
begins to formulate a theory about a possible frame-up from within his own
department. Directed by Steven Spielberg, who hired a team of futurists to
devise the film's numerous technologically advanced gadgets, Minority Report
co-stars Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, and Neal McDonough. | Tom Cruise | Officer John Anderton |
