In the
year 2054, a so-called "pre-crime division" is working
around Washington, DC. Its purpose is to use the precog(nitive)
potential of three genetically altered humans to prevent murders.
When the three precogs, who only work together, floating connected
in a tank of fluid, have a vision, the names of the victim
and the perpetrator as well as video imagery of the crime
and the exact time it will happen, are given out to the special
cops who then try to prevent the crime from happening. But
there is a political dilemma: If someone is arrested before
he commits a murder, can the person be accused of the murder,
which - because of the arrest - never took place? The project
of pre-crime, at the time being in a state of trial run, is
going to be voted about in the near future. If people accept
it, the crime rate is going to drop drastically, but it never
will be known if there might not be too many people imprisoned,
some or even all of them innocent. After John Anderton lost
his son to a crime a six years ago, he took up drugs, and
works the precog division like nobody else. One day, his own
name arrives in the "perpetrator" chute, and the
precogs predict that he will kill a man he never knew in less
than 36 hours. John takes off, his trust in the system diminishing
rapidly. His own colleagues after him, John follows a very
small trace that might hold the key to his innocence, a strange
unsolved yet predicted murder and a so-called "minority
report", a documentation of one of the rare events in
which a precog sees something different than the other two.
