Storyline

In the year 2054 A.D. crime is virtually eliminated from Washington D.C. thanks to an elite law enforcing squad "Precrime". They use three gifted humans (called "Pre-Cogs") with special powers to see into the future and predict crimes beforehand. John Anderton heads Precrime and believes the system's flawlessness steadfastly. However one day the Pre-Cogs predict that Anderton will commit a murder himself in the next 36 hours. Worse, Anderton doesn't even know the victim. He decides to get to the mystery's core by finding out the 'minority report' which means the prediction of the female Pre-Cog Agatha that "might" tell a different story and prove Anderton innocent.

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: During the "Press Conference" John Anderton walks out a multi-paneled glass door. As the camera pushes toward his face we can see the etched glass makers mark on the top left corner of one panel caused by the back lighting. When he is shown though that same panel a few shots later, that mark cannot be seen, showing it was shot though a different piece of glass. See more »

Quotes

John Anderton: There hasn't been a murder in six years. The system, it is perfect.
