In the Washington of the mid-21st century, the police unit Precrime has eradicated murder thanks to three seers able to foresee crimes before they happen, allowing the future culprits to be arrested. John Anderton, head of the unit and a firm believer in the system, sees his world collapse when the visions point to him as the perpetrator of a murder he has not yet committed. Turned into a fugitive from his own police, he embarks on a desperate flight to unravel the conspiracy and prove that fate can be changed. Steven Spielberg adapts Philip K. Dick into a dazzling science fiction thriller about free will and surveillance.
