Minority Report

Surveillance Cinema • 2h 25m

Directed by Steven Spielberg • 2002 • United States
Starring Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton

It’s 2054, a future in which psychic “precogs” are able to envision murders before they happen. When he’s pegged as the soon-to-be killer of a man he doesn’t know, detective John Anderton (Tom Cruise) goes on the run to prove he’s been framed. Steven Spielberg’s masterful adaptation of the novella by Philip K. Dick is a visually dazzling neonoir mash-up of heady philosophical inquiry and sleek pop thrills.
