"Don't trust anyone. Just

Why watch this?
This futuristic thriller is one of Spielberg's many
masterpieces.
Plot Summary:
In a future where a specialized police unit called PreCrime
stops murderers before they can act, Chief John Anderton
believes the system is flawless. However, one day he receives a
prediction that he himself will commit a murder, leading him to
question the system's infallibility. Now a fugitive from the
very unit he led, Anderton must try to prove his innocence and
uncover a possible conspiracy that could be behind his predicted
crime. Dad's Preview:
Early on, Tom Cruise was just too cocky for me. This film made
me an true fan.
Set in a future, utopian Earth, the plot centers on a crime
agency that arrests people for future crimes. The dreams of three telepathic
triplets (kept in medically-induced comas), called "Pre-Cogs",
are recorded and analyzed to predict future murders.
The plot is uber-creative and Spielberg makes is exciting. Cruise's
character is flawed and complex. It's engaging, fast-paced and full of
surprises.
