Tom Cruise works for the Pre-Crime Unit in 2054, which relies on information gathered from their PreCogs (who appear not of this world) to find out information about crimes before they occur. The Pre-Crime Unit can then swoop in and stop the crime before it occurs. John Anderton has a special interest in it since he lost a son under mysterious circumstances.
Pre-Crime is set in Washington DC and is not above politics. Colin Farrell is sent in by the Justice Department to sniff around and Tom Cruise begins to suspect a rat. He seek to liberate the PreCog to solve the mystery of what appears to be an unsolved murder. This PreCog, Agatha, had a differert vision/version of the unsolved murder, thereby the vision was outnumbered by the other two and was called the minority report.
The vision of the future is remarkable accurate even just 10 years later: touchscreen computing, automated spider robots, retinal scans. There are many Speilberg touches here: the broken family, the space oddities, the washout lighting. Also homages to other films: particularly Clockwork Orange and of course Total Recall.
