That said, my main gripe is the presumption that, in the future, anyone convicted of a crime before it happens is immediately sent to a state of suspended animation, an alternative form of the death penalty.

The best parts of the movie are so good from the high-tech special effects to the light-hearted humorous moments to the good, steady flow of the action and plotline that the problems with the film are easily forgiven. To tell any more of the story would disclose too much besides, it isn't necessary.

As Anderton begins to unravel the true story about the corruption behind the pre-crime program, he is lead even further towards his destination as predicted by the `pre-cognitives' who predicted his crime. As a plotline, Minority Report is intelligent, has a good consistent flow, isn't always predictable (at least not that long before it happens), has many twists and turns with legitimate dead-ends, and above all, tells a plausible story (even if the basic premise itself requires considerable suspension of disbelief).

Dick, author of Blade Runner, the atmosphere of a dark world with high technology having gotten out of hand, almost as though it snuck up on us without our knowing, remains the theme. Based on a short story by futurist Phillip K. This may sound a little like The Fugitive, but in this case, you don't know if the man on the run is-or, rather, will be-guilty. That action begins when Anderton is identified as a future killer, and he hits the road running.

Accordingly, he's a strong supporter of the controversial program, whose opponents feel it could potentially make an error and people might be wrongfully convicted, if not potentially rehabilitated. Cruise's character, John Anderton, is motivated by the loss of his own son, who was abducted and murdered six years earlier. The division's ability to stop murders before they happen is based on the psychic ability of three people who were mutant byproducts of a failed genetic program designed to help babies born from drug-dependent mothers. Minority Report is the latest film from Stephen Spielberg that stars Tom Cruise as a cop from the year 2054, who works in the pre-crime division of the Washington D.C police department.
