Article
Minority Report is a 2002 American film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen. It stars Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton and Max von Sydow. Loosely based on Philip K. Dick's 1956 novella "The Minority Report", the film takes place in 2054 in the Washington metropolitan area, where a specialized "precrime" police department apprehends would-be criminals with the use of foreknowledge provided by three psychics called "precogs".
Minority Report combines elements of the action, sci-fi, tech noir, thriller, and whodunit genres, in addition to being a traditional chase film, with the main protagonist accused of a crime he has not committed and becoming a fugitive. Spielberg characterized the story as "50% character and 50% very complicated storytelling with layers and layers of murder mystery and plot".
