In the future, the PreCrime unit stops crimes before they happen. But when the unit's leader finds himself framed for a future murder, he uncovers a sprawling controversy that threatens the program, the city, and the safety of everyone in it.
Based on the novella of the same name by Philip K. Dick, Minority Report transports the detective thriller to a futuristic Washington, D.C. where police utilize the psychic abilities of three PreCogs to arrest and convict criminals before they commit their crime. When the unit undergoes a review by a skeptic from the Department of Justice (Colin Farrell), its leader John (Tom Cruise) is accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met—and clearing his name will uncover truths he can't yet imagine.

"Ferociously intense, furiously kinetic, it's expressionist film noir science-fiction that, like all good sci-fi, peers into the future to shed light on the present." — David Ansen, Newsweek
"It’s colder and more calculating than much of Spielberg’s oeuvre, and is all the better for it." — Wendy Ide, Times (UK)
"The visionary quality of Minority Report's cinematic world is matched solely by its endless influence on both film and real-world technology since its release." — Brian Eggert, Deep Focus Review
