In Washington D.C., in the year 2054,
murder has been eliminated. The future is seen and the guilty punished before
the crime has ever been committed. From a nexus deep within the Justice
Department's elite Pre-Crime Unit, all the evidence to convict - from imagery
alluding to the time, place and other details - is seen by the "Pre-Cogs",
three psychic beings whose visions of murder have never been wrong.
It is the nation's most advanced crime force, a perfect system. And no one
works harder for Pre-Crime than its top man, Chief John Anderton (Tom Cruise).
Destroyed by a tragic loss, Anderton has thrown all of his passion into a
system that could potentially spare thousands of people from the tragedy he
lived through. Six years later, the coming vote to take it national has only
fuelled his conviction that Pre-Crime works.
Anderton has no reason to doubt it ... until he becomes its number suspect.
As the head of the unit, Anderton is the first to see the images as they flow
from the liquid suspension chamber where the Pre-Cogs dream of murder.
The scene is unfamiliar, the faces unknown to him, but this time, the killer's
identity is clear - John Anderton will murder a total stranger in less than 36
hours.
Now with his own unit tracking his every move, led by his rival, Danny Witwer
(Colin Farrell), Anderton must go below the radar of the state-of-the-art
automated city, where every step you take is monitored, every car you drive can
be controlled by someone else, and your own eyes tell the world who you are,
what you want and where you're going. Because you can't hide, everybody runs.
With no way to defend himself against the charge of Pre-Crime, John must trace
the roots of what brought him here, and uncover the truth behind the question
he has spent the past six years working to eliminate: Is it possible for the
Pre-Cogs to be wrong?
