=============
Minority Report is a 2002 American science fiction action film[5] directed by Steven Spielberg and loosely based on the 1956 short story "The Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick. It is set primarily in Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia in the year 2054, where PreCrime, a specialized police department, apprehends criminals based on foreknowledge provided by psychics called "precogs". The cast includes Tom Cruise as Chief of PreCrime John Anderton, Colin Farrell as Department of Justice agent Danny Witwer, Samantha Morton as the senior precog Agatha, and Max von Sydow as Anderton's superior Lamar Burgess.

The main theme of Minority Report is the classic philosophical debate of free will versus determinism.[52][53] Other themes explored by the film include involuntary commitment, the nature of political and legal systems in a high technology-advanced society,[54] the rights of privacy in a media-dominated world,[30] and the nature of self-perception.[55] The film also continues to follow Spielberg's tradition of depicting broken families,[56][57] which he has said is motivated by his parents' divorce when he was a child.[20]

In April 2054, Washington, DC's prototype PreCrime police department stops murderers before they act, reducing the murder rate to zero percent. Murders are predicted using specialized mutated humans, called "Precogs", who "previsualize" crimes by receiving visions of the future. Would-be murderers are imprisoned in a benevolent virtual reality. The federal government is on the verge of adopting the controversial program nationwide.
