The
science-fiction
thriller
MINORITY
REPORT,
directed
by
Steven
Spielberg
and
starring
Tom
Cruise,
is
based
on a
short
story
by
renowned
writer
Philip
K.
Dick.
In
the
year
2054,
in
Washington,
D.C.,
murder
has
been
eliminated
thanks
to
Precrime,
a
program
that
uses
the
visions
of
three
psychics,
called
Precogs
(an
abbreviation
for
precognitive
thinkers),
to
arrest
and
imprison
would-be
murderers
before
they
have
a
chance
to
kill.
Tom
Cruise
plays
John
Anderton,
a
Precrime
enforcer
who
believes
in
the
system
for
his
own
personal
reasons--years
back
his
young
son
was
abducted,
and
he
has
dealt
with
the
loss
by
becoming
a
high-strung
Precrime
officer.
The
director
of
Precrime
(Max
von
Sydow)
is
eager
to
take
the
program
national,
and
feels
threatened
by
an
ambitious
federal
agent
(Colin
Farrell)
who
is
bent
on
finding
a
flaw
in
the
system.
When
Anderton
finds
himself
accused
of
the
future
murder
of a
man
he's
never
met,
his
faith
in
Precrime
is
instantly
shaken.
He
goes
on
the
run,
and
is
trailed
by
the
relentless
Precrime
police.
In
the
tradition
of
BLADE
RUNNER
(also
based
on a
Dick
story),
MINORITY
REPORT
is a
dark,
brooding
vision
of
the
future.
Spielberg
expertly
mixes
thrilling
chase
and
suspense
sequences
(the
best
of
which
involves
Anderton
being
pursued
by
eye-scanning
mechanical
spiders)
and
stunning
special
effects
with
a
challenging
look
at
society's
willingness
to
sacrifice
privacy
and
the
notion
of
free
will
for
convenience
and
security.
MINORITY
REPORT
is a
thought-provoking
and
exciting
film
that
ranks
with
Spielberg's
best.
