This is a science fiction that is a bit hard to understand. It is a futuristic movie, taking place in 2054. In Washington, D.C. pre cogs (peope with cognitive functions where they dream of future murders, and are used by the police to prevent future crimes. Many people have been arrested as a result, and placed in a comma. The murder rate has dropped to zero. However one of our police, Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise) shows up on a future crime report, killing someone he doesn't know. He runs, and eventually gets to the bottom of a murder which was miss handled in the past. A woman was murdered twice, once prevented by the precogs, but the second did happen, Ann Lively (Jessica Harper) was drowned. One of the Precogs was her daughter (Samantha Morton). Anderton steals this precog. She is considered the strongest.
Someone has been manipulating the system, and that person is very powerful. A coworker (Colin Ferrell), rival of sorts, also started questioning and goes to the director (Max Von Sydow), and is murdered. Anderton's (Kathryn Morris) wife is also involved, and is the person who discovers the true murderer.
Directed by Steven Spielberg. Even though this is hard material, with futuristic computers and such, I think is comes off well.
