Plot
In April 2054, Cpt John Anderton (Tom Cruise) is chief of the
controversial Washington, D.C. PreCrime police force.
PreCrime uses visions of the future generated by three
Precogs, mutated humans with precognitive abilities, to stop
murders before they happen. Though Anderton is a respected
officer, he has been secretly using illegal drugs since the
disappearance of his son years earlier, which also led his wife
to divorce him.
With PreCrime poised to go nation-wide, the system is
audited by Danny Witwer (Colin Farrell), a member of the
United States Department of Justice. During the audit, the
Precogs generate a new prediction, one saying that Anderton
will murder a man named Leo Crow in 36 hours. Anderton
doesn't even know Leo Crow, and believes that Witwer has
framed him as a punishment for drug addiction. Aderton flees
the area before Witwer begins a manhunt.
Anderton seeks the advice of Dr Iris Hineman (Lois Smith), the
creator of PreCrime technology. She explains that sometimes,
one of the Precogs, usually Agatha ( Samantha Morton), will
hold a vision that is different from the others. In such cases,
the "minority report" is ignored. The key to proving
Anderton's innocence lies in getting hold of Agatha and
downloading the minority report. The visit helps Anderton
realize that PreCrime is a flawed system, and needs to be shut
down.
Anderton goes to the black market and pays for a dangerous
eye replacement surgery, because cities in 2054 are filled
with optical recognition systems. He travels back to PreCrime
and kidnaps Agatha. The PreCrime system shuts down,
because all three Precogs must be together to operate.
Anderton takes Agatha to a hacker to extract the minority
report of Leo Crow, which should show Anderton's innocence.
To his dismay, it doesn't exist. At this point, Agatha gives
Anderton a vision of a woman being murdered, who was
named Anne Lively. Anderton recalls that he investigated that
attempted murder in the past.
Anderton's future murder of Leo Crow is approaching.
Anderton heads to Crow's apartment to investigate. There, he
finds hundreds of photos of children, including one of his son,
and concludes that Crow is a serial child killer. Crow appears
in the room and confesses to murdering Anderton's son.
Anderton feels tempted to kill Crow, but resists after Agatha
begs him not to, and reminds him that people have free will.
Crow then confesses that he was hired to plant the photos
and be killed, in return for his family receiving money. Crow
grabs Anderton's hand and pushes the trigger, killing himself.
Anderton and Agatha run to the house of Anderton's ex-wife
for refuge. There, he learns that Lively was Agatha's drug-
addicted mother. She originally donated Agatha to the
PreCrime program, and was the victim of attempted murder
after trying to withdraw. Anderton realizes that his
knowledge of Lively is why he is being targeted.
Witwer arrives at Crow's death scene, but concludes that
Anderton is being framed, since only a staged event would
have so much evidence lying around. Witwer examines the
footage of Lively's murder. Observing the water rippling in
different directions, he realizes that it is not one vision, but
two visions combined. The first attempt on Lively's life was
stopped by PreCrime, but the second succeeded. Witwer
reports his findings to the Director of PreCrime, Lamar
Burgess ( Max von Sydow). Burgess responds by killing Witwer
and framing Anderton. PreCrime, having been shut down,
does not record this.
Anderton and Agatha are captured by PreCrime officers, and
Agatha is plugged back into the PreCrime system, which puts
it back online. Burgess tries to comfort Lara, but accidentally
reveals himself as Lively's murderer. Lara frees Anderton by
holding the warden prisoner at gunpoint. At a banquet that
Burgess is attending to celebrate the success of PreCrime,
Anderton plays a video of Agatha's vision of Lively, revealing
that Burgess was the murderer. When Burgress chases after
Anderton, a new report appears at PreCrime: Anderton is the
victim and Burgess the murderer.
Anderton explains the impossible dilemma that Burgress is
faced with.. If Burgess kills Anderton, Burgess will be put in
prison for life. If Burgress spares Anderton, the PreCrime
system will be discredited and shut down. The flaw of the
system is that, once people are aware of their future, they can
change it. Burgess cannot choose between life imprisonment
and public humiliation. He asks for Anderton's forgiveness and
shoots himself.
The PreCrime system is shut down and the prisoners are
pardoned. Anderton and Lara re-marry and start a new family.
The Precogs are sent to an "undisclosed location," a small, un-
charted island in the North Atlantic Ocean, to live their lives in
peace.
