Minority Report is a 2002 Post-Cyberpunk neo-noir science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise, loosely based on the 1956 Philip K. Dick short story "The Minority Report".Set in Washington, D.C. and Virginia in the year 2054, the film centers around a new and experimental branch of the police, the "Precrime Division", which tracks murders about to happen with the aid of three precognitive psychics who can see the future in limited flashes. Things start to get tricky when one of the chief Precrime officers, John Anderton (Cruise) gets flagged by the precogs as a future murderer. Now, he is forced to evade his own fellow officers as he tries to figure out why he would want to murder a man he's never even heard of yet...A tie-in video game based on the movie, Minority Report: Everybody Runs, was released the same year as the film.In fall of 2015, the film was made into a television show of the same name on Fox. The series follows Dashiell ten years after the end of the film as he continues to use his gift to help people on his own, though he has little success until he partners with a detective that can put his visions to use.

comment
Menacing Hand Shot: When the murderer in the opening case gets arrested, there is a camera shot from behind a policeman's hand as he opens the halo to place it on the man's head. As Fletcher's team is surrounding Anderton, one of the cops extends her sick stick. The next shot is several sick sticks in the hands of the other cops held low and dagger-like as they start to close around Anderton.

Soft Glass
 Minority Report / int_1b4ead2d
comment
Soft Glass: Considering this future has things like precognition, holographic storage, an automated maglev transport system and other technologically advanced things, they apparently can't make glass that doesn't shatter with the slightest impact. In the arrest of Howard Marks, the precrime cops crash through a skylight, sending shards of glass all over the room, especially all over the wife and lover who were directly underneath. Then, Anderton throws Marks onto the bed, which is covered in shattered glass. If this were real life, Marks should have been bloodied up a little bit. Unless all glass in the future shatters without sharp bits, like car windshields. Plausible and a damn sight safer, but expensive.

Adaptational Villainy
 Minority Report / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: The System of Precrime becomes much more villainous in the film. While in the original short story it was criticized as arresting people that technically hadn't done anything, the film runs with that. Precrime is much more fallible in the film than in the story, and it's not as widely accepted. Characters like the precogs in the story couldn't function outside of the chamber they'd been placed in, while the precogs in the movie can and they're treated more like victims of the system. Furthermore, Precrime is a much more noble endeavor in the short story while in the movie we learn the system was founded by lies and murder. The short story had Anderton saving Precrime from a smear whilst in the movie Anderton takes down Precrime for good.

Surprisingly Happy Ending
 Minority Report / int_25b4ad2f
comment
Surprisingly Happy Ending: The film's setting is an oppressive authoritarian USA in which civil liberties and privacy are a thing of the past, and the tone is bleak and pessimistic, culminating in Anderton being arrested for the murders of Crow and Witwer and placed in a Mind Prison indefinitely. After that, however, Lara realizes that Lamar Burgess is behind the plot and breaks Anderton out of prison. With the help of his former Precrime colleagues, Anderton publicly exposes Burgess for the murder of Anne Lively. Burgess kills himself, Precrime is disbanded, the pre-cogs retire to a secluded house in the countryside, Anderton and Lara reconcile and are expecting a second child. The shift in tone was so jarring that a popular theory emerged that Anderton never escaped from the Mind Prison and the ending of the film is his dream. This is hinted at when Anderton is being imprisoned and Gideon explains "It's actually kind of a rush. They say you have visions. That your life flashes before your eyes. That all your dreams come true."

The treatment of the three Precogs borders on abject violation of the 13th Amendment. That nobody ever contacted an attorney to represent the Precogs in a Supreme Court case borders on the ridiculous, even if it's a plot point that one of their legal guardians was murdered to keep them under Precrime control.

Speak of the Devil: When Anderton threatens Witwer with a gun, believing Witwer has somehow framed him for murder. Witwer laughs it off, as there would have been a Red Ball if he actually meant it. By sheer coincidence, it is at this exact moment that Anderton's Mercy Lead expires and the alarm is sounded, which naturally freaks Witwer out big time.

 Minority Report / int_2bdae2ae

Awesome, but Impractical: The Jet Packs. They allow the officers independent flight, they've been engineered so that their wearers aren't caught on fire, and they're useful for covering lots of ground. The packs are also a huge liability in a fight. First off, the inertia can really work against the pilots, as they need to control their ascent and direction so when they're struck hard enough, their body can shift and propel them off and out of control. Second, they need to constantly control their packs, and using two hands in a fight can put them at a control disadvantage. Third, tight spaces are obviously going to be a problem, because flying around in an enclosure (like a small apartment room) is going to mess one up. Also when the Precops enter through the Marks' house skylight. Sure, it makes for a cool action shot, but they couldn't have just gone in through the front door?

Wrongful Accusation Insurance
 Minority Report / int_2fbab42f
comment
Wrongful Accusation Insurance: Anderton is apparently forgiven for all the other crimes he committed in attempting to prove he didn't murder anyone. To his credit, when he's fighting off the Precops, he goes out of his way not to harm any of them, going so far as to double-check that one had a good grip on a fire escape after he swiped his jetpack and before letting go of him. And the authorities can't exactly prosecute him without describing exactly how much of a fool he made them look. Anderton also gets let off easy for knowingly going to Crowe's apartment (where he knows he is predicted to kill Crowe) and ultimately inspiring Crowe to opt for Suicide by Cop. Not to mention revealing Burgess' murder of Agatha's mother. The video game goes full Selective Condemnation, where you can murder 60+ police officers and others by shooting them, beating them to death, and throwing them off of buildings or into acid and fires, but the only thing people care about is the crime you're framed for.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
 Minority Report / int_30d2ae29
comment
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: Played straight for most of its length, but subverts it near the end. The Pre-Crimes are predictions made by the Precogs. However, the predictions are not always accurate. The main crime that the movie focuses on is Anderton being predicted to kill a man named Leo Crow. Instead of killing him like the vision depicted, Anderton planned to arrest him for the supposed abductions and murders of several children. Once Crow realized that Anderton would not kill him, he performed a Suicide by Cop just so his family would be financially secure through his death. Then there's the final vision that predicts Lamar killing Anderton. Instead of Anderton dying, Lamar shoots himself to escape jail time for his crimes.

Thoughtcrime
 Minority Report / int_310d40de
comment
Thoughtcrime: By virtue of being able to stop murders before they happen, the "crimes" that the Precrime Division fall into this category. Suspects are caught in the attempt to commit a murder at times when the officers have trouble locating them, but it's implied that they're usually able to catch them well in advance of the attempt (Howard Marks had a number of obscuring factors that let him get a lot closer than he should have). In the latter case, an ordinary charge of attempted murder could be made. For most though, their only "crime" is just wanting to commit a murder, but not actually doing so. They're all detained without trial regardless. Early in the film, Witwer asks if there's ever "false positives," describing a scenario where someone considers taking a life but doesn't act on it. It's then explained that the act of murder itself is what triggers the Pre-Cogs, not simply the idea of it, so it's a certainty that the murders would have happened. This isn't actually true, however, as the potential to not commit murder always exists, as long as one is of sound enough mind to recognize that they don't have to go through with it when they know what the outcome will be.

Apologetic Attacker: John goes out of his way to ensure the safety of the officers trying to arrest him. When he disconnects one of them from their jetpack (from a fire-escape several stories up), he grabs him and makes sure he has a grip on the ledge before continuing to make his escape.

Super Window Jump: Though the people coming through the skylight were armored police officers who, implicitly, do this sort of thing on a regular basis. However, they were coming down into someone's bedroom, where they knew two people had just been having sex.

Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism
 Minority Report / int_372bc105
comment
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: The main point of criticism of the film was that the idealistic happy ending stood in stark, jarring contrast to the dark tone of the rest of the film, to the point that it seems completely out of place. Unsurprisingly, a popular alternative interpretation of the film sprung up to counteract this. Where the viewer sits on the scale will probably determine which interpretation they find more plausible.

Stable Time Loop
 Minority Report / int_37690091
comment
Stable Time Loop: Not entirely stable, because it doesn't play out the same, but still necessary. Anderton's ability to even commit the murder in the future is contingent on the fact that he sees exactly how he will do so from the vision, which even predicts that he will successfully kidnap Agatha along the way. This curious property also makes the murder premeditated, because Anderton has to unravel the clues in the fragmented vision to guide him to the final moment, turning what is technically a crime of passion into a premeditated murder by virtue of Anderton's determination to prove his innocence.

Advert-Overloaded Future: One of the most famous examples of this trope. Walking down the street in the film's world has become a hyperstimulating nightmare, as talking holographic advertisements use retinal scans to sell directly to you. Constantly. Danny Witwer even lampshades the Fridge Horrorinvoked of this, noting that Anderton will head for an underdeveloped area with fewer billboards to "pick his pockets" - and, it is implied, notify the Cops of where exactly he is. Spielberg even sat down with a panel of scientists and businessmen prior to making the film, and they came up with the intrusive holo-ads.

Techno Dystopia
 Minority Report / int_3b09628b
comment
Techno Dystopia: Zigzagged in the film, where Pre-Crime is the ultimate culmination of a world in which Big Brother Is Watching. Despite that, Pre-Crime's positive benefits aren't glossed over at all, and arguably its flaw lies not in being inherently bad technology, but in one corrupt individual interfering with it for his own purposes. Indeed, apart from a thriving black market, crime and social decay seem pretty negligible in this future. Even so, prisoners are not mentioned as being released, instead seeming to get detained indefinitely, although what happens could be interpreted as a brainwashing process toward their eventual release, which is dystopian either way. Plus, it also requires having the pre-cogs held as slaves who have to constantly see images of murders (even if these mostly never happen). If the above were avoided somehow, it might be downright utopian.

Corrupted Contingency
 Minority Report / int_3dfa74a8
comment
Corrupted Contingency: The Precrime police program prevents homicides and murders by using three precogs to predict the killings before they happen. John Anderton strongly believes in the program's validity until it is predicted that he will kill a man he is never even met before in the next 36 hours. It turns out that all of this is the plan of Precrime's founder Lamar Burgess who wanted to keep Anderton from looking into the death of Anne Lively which would result in Precrime being shut down. Burgess used his own knowledge of how Precrime works to commit the murder and set Anderton up. In theory, the Precrime system should make it impossible for anyone to even consider a murder without being detected by the Precogs, making it the ultimate contingency in law enforcement. The film's ultimate twist is that Lamar Burgess exploited a loophole in the system to get away with murdering Anne Lively, the mother of one of the Precogs who wanted her daughter back and could potentially bring the program down by revealing damning information about the program's origins. First, Burgess hired an assassin to kill her, resulting in the crime being instantly predicted and the would-be killer being arrested. Then, as soon as Lively was safe, Lamar dressed up in the hitman's mask and clothes, and drowned her in the nearby lake exactly as the assassin would have. The Precogs predicted this as well, but because the incident looked virtually identical to the already-averted murder, the Precrime technician assumed that the Precogs were just having nightmares about past visions — a common occurrence called an "echo" — and disregarded the vision.

Destructive Savior: Precops are sometimes this, depending on the circumstance. For example, during the Marks case, John manages to prevent the murder, but then the rest of the team breaks into the house via the Soft Glass skylight, probably costing thousands in repair. Their detection methods can be inconvenient and intrusive, like when the eye-dent "spyders" identify all tenants of an apartment building, making two little girls cry in terror and also interrupting one couple during sex. With John, they zap him because he's not complying, then pry open his eyelid for the scan.

Morton's Fork: Burgess is defeated when Anderton sets this up. Anderton provokes Burgess to murder him, triggering a precog, then uses a Breaking Speech to lay this out for him. Either Burgess kills Anderton (thus proving that the system works but ending up "in hell with a halo") or he doesn't (which will shut down Precrime and presumably have Burgess arrested for the Anne Lively murder he committed to uphold it). Burgess takes a third option, and kills himself, thus proving the precog wrong and destroying the system.

Adaptational Attractiveness: The first two lines of the short story are: "'I'm getting bald', Anderton thought. 'Bald and fat and old.'" Tom Cruise is many things but none of these. Additionally, the precogs looked rather more unearthly in the film. In the short story, they were described as mutated Talkative Loons who look like ten-year-olds with swollen heads and atrophied limbs, whose babblings were translated by computer into prophecies. Here, their appearances are decent enough, excluding their mildly pale complexions.

Body Motifs: Eyes are absolutely everywhere. The identification system in D.C. is based on retinal scanners. An important character is called "Iris", and another minor character is named "van Eyck". Names of victims and perpetrators are carved into wooden balls which resemble eyes. The Arc Words of the film are "Can you see?" And so on and so forth.

Everything Is an iPod in the Future: Just about everything modern in this society follows the Apple aesthetic, from white and shiny stores to the rounded designs of the cars and Spider Droids. The film's biggest distinguisher from the usual employment of this trope is using more blues and grays.

Facial Recognition Software: Used realistically here. For instance, in the opening sequence, the perpetrator is identified as 'Howard Marks', but since eight people in the area have that name, Anderton has to compare the driver's license photos with the images from the vision to isolate the specific one they want to capture.

Scry vs. Scry: In the short story, the key paradox is a result of this, because the three reports come in sequence, rather than simultaneously as they're supposed to. Each report takes into account the fact that the director of Precrime has read all the others that preceded it, causing everything to bork up.

Perfect Solution Fallacy: When Anderson's case proves that the precrime system is not 100% deterministic and precriminals may have alternative futures (with the foreknowledge of their crime anyway), the project is shut down completely while it still held the potential to prevent all murders from happening one way or the other.

Missed Him by That Much: An awesome sequence with Anderton and Agatha avoiding the Future Crime cops, utilizing Agatha's future-seeing prediction to place themselves at the right place and right time for seemingly random events to hide them from the cops. (Example: Agatha tells Anderton to stop right in the middle of the mall, in plain view. Just as the cops stop at an overhead walkway to look down, a man with balloons blocks their view of Anderton.)

One Dialogue, Two Conversations: In the elevator between Anderton and Witwer. While Anderton just learned about his future as a murderer, Witwer found out about his drug addiction and tells Anderton that he is in big trouble. Anderton assumes Witwer is talking about his predicted murder and accuses him of a Frame-Up. Witwer assumes Anderton is actually talking about his neuroin addiction, showing off one of the inhalers to prove that Anderton is very much guilty of that particular crime. Anderton realizes the confusion and switches gears.

You Can't Fight Fate
 Minority Report / int_7241785e
comment
You Can't Fight Fate: When discussing the concept of Precrime and its accuracy, Danny argues that they're subverting fate constantly with their interventions. Anderton counters that though this is true, it's a common phenomenon even without precognition - crimes are prevented all the time, but it doesn't mean the perpetrators aren't criminals. Just because Precrime prevents murders, it doesn't mean the murders weren't going to occur. This is actually a thought experiment by David Hume. Discussed between Anderton and Dr. Hineman. Anderton asserts that he can simply lay low, but Hineman points out that the vision has already started a chain of events that will inevitably lead Anderton to Leo Crow no matter how much he resists while asking rhetorically how he could avoid a man he's never met. Subverted specifically for Anderton when Precog Agatha tells him, "You always have a choice." Anderton ultimately decides not to kill him, running out the clock and thus subverting the vision, but the guy grabs the gun to force Anderton to kill him. Instead of murdering the guy, Anderton ends up accidentally killing him when he loses his balance and falls out the window. It LOOKS like seeing the murderball STARTED the chain of events that led to John meeting Crow and executing him (played straight). Only at the last minute does John demonstrate that he could choose not to (averted), so this is a true subversion for John. Zig-Zagged in that Agatha saw this future, it was just too similar to the other two pre-visions for her to tell the difference. This is how the original short story plays out. Story Anderton does end up committing the murder he was predicted to commit because he realizes he's being used to destroy Precrime and enable a military coup, and he's willing to give up his freedom to prevent that future. This only comes about because he tries to fight fate; the precogs' third, correct prediction depends on him reading and attempting to gainsay their first two predictions.

 Minority Report / int_7286e96d

Idiot Ball: Albeit a somewhat justified one. Anderton learns that he's been predicted to go to a specific kind of building at a specific time to kill someone he's never met. The logical thing to do — which John himself even suggests, only to be talked out of it with some shaky logic — would be to simply lay low until such time that the vision was rendered invalid, at worst proving that the Precogs' vision was wrong or, one could argue, was prevented because he himself chose to prevent it. If he had hung around in the crappy apartment where he got the eye transplant, he'd have been in the clear. As Witwer points out, however, Anderton won't just run and hide, "because he thinks he's innocent". Even when Agatha tries to persuade Anderton not to face his "destiny", Anderton won't, as he does not believe he could have committed a murder and is so driven to find out why he would do so. Anderton does end up not killing the guy intentionally, but it happens anyway thanks to a Gun Struggle. Witwer learns that someone has possibly managed to "trick" Precrime with a faked vision, one that would require intimate knowledge of the system and access to secured files, severely limiting the possible suspects. He chooses to detail all of this to one of said suspects after handing the man a gun while the Precogs are currently unable to detect murders. His fate after that is pretty obvious.

Swiss-Cheese Security: After the prediction of Anderton's murder comes in and he goes on the run, no one thinks to revoke his security access to the Precrime headquarters. He's able to use one of his original eyeballs to pass a retina scan and get into the Precogs' room, where he kidnaps Agatha. Later, even after Anderton has been caught and imprisoned for the murders of Crow and Witwer, Lara uses that same eyeball to enter the containment wing and force Gideon to release him. Anderton is also able to infiltrate Burgess' ceremony and confront him on the balcony without a security guard in sight.

Suicide by Cop
 Minority Report / int_73328e84
comment
Anderton is apparently forgiven for all the other crimes he committed in attempting to prove he didn't murder anyone. To his credit, when he's fighting off the Precops, he goes out of his way not to harm any of them, going so far as to double-check that one had a good grip on a fire escape after he swiped his jetpack and before letting go of him. And the authorities can't exactly prosecute him without describing exactly how much of a fool he made them look. Anderton also gets let off easy for knowingly going to Crowe's apartment (where he knows he is predicted to kill Crowe) and ultimately inspiring Crowe to opt for Suicide by Cop.

Once More, with Clarity: Agatha shows Anderton a vision of Anne Lively's prevented murder, which doesn't seem to reveal much. When Witwer becomes aware of it, he notices a slight discrepancy; in Agatha's prevision, the ripples on the water are going out to sea, while the twins' version has the ripples coming in from the sea. This reveals that Agatha's version is not an 'echo' of murder vision that one Precrime stopped, but a subsequent murder staged to fool Precrime. Finally, a much clearer vision, complete with lead-in, shows exactly how Burgess set the whole thing up to fool the system.

Adaptation Explanation Extrication
 Minority Report / int_794f3589
comment
Adaptation Explanation Extrication: The event that kicks the plot off — Anderton's future murder — is explained as a paradox in the book. The three Precogs usually produce fairly similar visions, which is then averaged by computer modeling, but occasionally, one will have a vision distinct from the other two, usually due to the murderer's likelihood of actually committing the murder - the titular "Minority Report." If the minority report is not a murder, then the average is that the subject will commit a murder. If the minority report is a murder, then the average is that the subject will not commit a murder. In the end it is discovered that Anderton has three Minority Reports - all three Precogs saw wildly different futures. One Precog saw the future where he commits a murder, one saw a future where he does not, and the third saw a future based on decisions he makes upon seeing the other two reports yet commits the murder anyway. The two "murder" futures averaged to a "murder" prediction, but such a thing could only occur to the director of Precrime, as he is the only one who could choose to view the individual reports instead of the average assembled by computer modeling. This absolute Mind Screw is missing from the film in favor of a simpler plot; Anderton accidentally awakens a precog, who shows him a vision of her mother's murder - which was arranged by the Big Bad. Anderton retrieves the vision and shows it to the Big Bad - who then decides Anderton Knows Too Much, and hires a junkie to confess to the murder of Anderton's son, the one thing that would drive Anderton to murder.

Additionally, the precogs looked rather more unearthly in the film.

Here, their appearances are decent enough, excluding their mildly pale complexions.

Paranoia Fuel: In-universe. The surgeon sarcastically thanks Anderton for the "enlightenment" he had in prison while prepping him for surgery. Turns out that prison did improve him, because he performs the surgery flawlessly. He even throw some useful items on the deal, so he was grateful.

How We Got Here
 Minority Report / int_80251be3
comment
How We Got Here: Played with in that John Anderton hasn't gotten there yet, but becomes obsessed with "How We'll Get There" in terms of killing Leo Crowe. John thinks he's safe because why would he kill someone he's never met? It's a setup by Lamar Burgess, with Leo Crowe instructed to make John angry by admitting to being the one who kidnapped John's son so that Leo dies and his family gets "taken care of". Leo ends up dying without John intending it by grabbing his hand gun and John reflexively pulling the trigger so that only the window gets hit and Leo goes flying back and falls to his death. The bed in Leo's hotel room has photos planted as fake evidence and Witwer doesn't buy it for a second during the crime scene investigation.

Police State
 Minority Report / int_830f2f0e
comment
Police State: 2050s America, or at least 2050s Washington, seems remarkably authoritarian by comparison to the early-2000s period the film was made in. The whole Precrime system is an apotheosis of surveillance infrastructure, essentially a psychic CCTV system that can see future crimes, and actual retinal scanners everywhere cover all other CCTV functions in the present, used both by private and public sectors—by the former to advertise directly to customers (as in by name), and by the latter to locate and intercept nonlethal criminal suspects (like Anderton resisting arrest). Security systems have developed enough that D.C. police can remotely intercept and reroute maglev cars suspected of harbouring fugitives. Spider drones are also used to track down fleeing suspects using their heat signatures, and can scan their retinas too for I.D. Arrested precriminals are never offered any semblance of due process under current (early 21st-century) American law and basically undergo detention without trial, and despite the existence of state prosecutors like the Attorney General, Supreme Court justices, and (mentioned in passing) the ACLU, as well as the continued use of Miranda Rights, no lawyers are ever called in to defend the likes of Anderton, any of the other precriminals, or the Precogs themselves. One wonders whether defence lawyers are seen as impotent in this future and the legal system has evolved to become heavily biased in the prosecution's favour—i.e., a Kangaroo Court. Interestingly the film came out right after 9/11, when the spike in terrorist paranoia led to expansions in government security and surveillance measures (seen by its most vocal critics as authoritarian infringement on civil liberties), including the Patriot Act and the formation of the Department of Homeland Security, as well as mandated heavy security measures now commonplace in places like airports.

Artistic License – Law
 Minority Report / int_8391b1c7
comment
Artistic License – Law: Precrime's charter allows it to conduct police actions against potential murderers, arrest them, and then jail them seemingly indefinitely with no apparent oversight, and federal watchdogs are seemingly only being involved now because of a potential expansion beyond the DC/Virginia area. This runs afoul of the United States Constitution in so many ways. Precrime would need a warrant for every arrest, a 4th Amendment violation ("unreasonable search and seizure"), though Precrime could be argued as probable cause, since a crime will take place at said location. For that matter, when Anderton goes on the lam, Precrime is apparently given license to search basically anywhere they think he might be, and they have absolutely no probable cause to cast such a wide net. Being arrested for an action one has yet to take is direct violation of their 5th ("due process") and 6th ("trial by jury") Amendment rights. Even if Precrime can be taken as evidence, they are never granted a trial, much less by a jury of their peers. Precrime jail is being held indefinitely in what is essentially an induced coma, an 8th Amendment violation ("cruel and unusual punishment"). Seriously, Anderton should have contacted his lawyer the moment he was predicted to commit murder, as should every single person they ever charged. The treatment of the three Precogs borders on abject violation of the 13th Amendment. That nobody ever contacted an attorney to represent the Precogs in a Supreme Court case borders on the ridiculous, even if it's a plot point that one of their legal guardians was murdered to keep them under Precrime control.

Crime of Passion

comment
Crime of Passion: The plot opens with this trope, when the "Precrime Division" just barely prevents a man from murdering his wife and her lover, having gone home for his glasses only to catch them in bed together. John Anderton explains that crimes of passion are harder to predict and intercept precisely because they're spur of the moment. In fact, the Precrime Divison spends most of its time dealing with these types of crimes because the system has proven effective at preventing almost all premeditated murders.

Truth in Television: John successfully infiltrating the Department of Precrime because nobody thought to check if his credentials were revoked isn't an outrageous occurrence. Typically in real life, this is how some computer networks or even buildings have been infiltrated by spies or thieves. The mandatory retinal scans make this less likely but not impossible to pull off if someone overlooked revoking credentials due to the commotion in the Department from pursuing John as a top priority. Besides, who'd expect John to be bold enough to sneak back into the headquarters of the place that wants to capture him?

Crapsack World, Escapist Sanctuary
 Minority Report / int_8f99ee85
comment
Crapsack World, Escapist Sanctuary: In an Advert-Overloaded Future with invasive surveillance everywhere, the Precrime division of the police has virtually eliminated murder, at the cost of condemning anyone who might be about to kill someone to a life sentence without trial. Worse still, the system is based on the suffering of three Precogs kept drugged and trapped in their nightmares of the future, and given that their predictions aren't always perfectly accurate, there's a good chance that innocent people have been jailed because of said system. In this increasingly oppressive setting, various forms of legal and illegal escapism are popular: on the legal side, cyber-parlors like Rufus Riley's "Dreamweaver" allow people to live out their fantasies in virtual reality, while on the more illicit side, drug addiction is skyrocketing. Notably, Detective John Anderton uses Neuroin to combat his depression, enhancing his high with Happier Home Movies of his wife and son that he interacts with as if they were real.

GPS Evidence: Justified. The only exact details the PreCogs give are the identity of the victim and perpetrator and the exact time of death. The detectives have to analyze the audio-visual data in the PreCogs' visions and look for telltale clues to determine the exact location of the crime. Even more justified with the opening sequence, where Anderton has to use this trope to stop Howard Marks from committing two murders after learning that he's recently moved from his old address.

Foreshadowing: In the beginning, Anderton is trying to pinpoint the first murder and watches a video where a boy seems to appear on the left and to the right of a man with a suit with no immediate explanation, until Anderton deduces he is on a merry-go-round. After the Department of Precrime makes their arrest, a deja vu is detected and erased and overlooked as an "echo". Near the end of the film, it is revealed that a murder was committed by copying an earlier attempted murder but some details are inexplicably different between the two incidents, proving that there were two incidents that the Precogs assumed were the same. "You ever get any false positives? Someone intends to kill his boss or his wife, but they never go through with it." In the course of the movie, Anderton chooses not to kill Crow, and Burgess chooses not to kill Anderton, undermining the premise of the Pre-Crime system. "Then why can't they see rapes, or assaults or suicides?" John gets very upset upon seeing pictures of his abducted son on Leo Crowe's hotel room bed but calms down and decides to start arresting Leo instead of shooting him. However, Leo soon explains that he was put up to this by an unknown man (It's Lamar) and actually wants to die for the benefit of his family. After calming down Leo (who fought to make John shoot him earlier) and trying to walk away, Leo lunges for the gun and it goes off, hitting the window and causing Leo to stumble backwards and fall out the damaged window, making the incident a suicide. Finally, at the end of the film, Lamar Burgess ends up committing suicide instead of shooting John, leading to the shutdown of Precrime due to an alternate future being proven. Gideon explains to Anderton that Anne Lively's murderer could not be identified due to his eyes coming from the black market. Anderton later trades in his eyes for black market replacemenets to avoid being identified while he's on the run. When Anderton goes on the run, he pulls a gun on Witwer, but Witwer confidently says that he knows Anderton isn't going to kill him because the Precogs haven't given a warning. When Witwer is killed by the real villain later in the story, the Precogs don't give a warning because Anderton has sabotaged the system in his search for evidence. If you look closer at the photographs showing Crow with Anderton's son, you see that they are poorly photoshopped, a clue that this evidence was forged to convince Anderton that Crow was his son's murderer.

comment
No New Fashions in the Future: None of the clothes featured stand out as particularly "futuristic"-looking; indeed they don't stand out much at all, perhaps since most aren't very brightly coloured or patterned or anything, being mostly dark or neutral tones. Some suits, like Witwer's blazer or Lamar's tuxedo, are effectively timeless, and could be right at home in 1954 as much as in 2054. Even the future Gap, where Anderton buys Agatha some clothes, doesn't appear to be selling anything radically different from the early 2000s, when the film came out. (Some exceptions are specialist uniforms like the Precogs' form-fitting tights inside the temple.)

It gets treated like this trope because while Brown Balls (premeditated murders) can be predicted as early as four days before a crime is committed, Red Balls can only be predicted within the hour before the crime is committed due to the lack of premeditation. They don't get many premeditated murders, unsurprisingly-people have caught on.

Near-Villain Victory: Assuming the end's events weren't Anderton's imprisonment-induced dream, Burgess had managed to clean up all loose ends regarding his crimes and is about to be awarded for his Precrime system going national. However, a slip of the tongue leads Lara to realise that there's more going on than she realises, so she breaks Anderton out and both begin to orchestrate Burgess' downfall.

Oh, Crap!
 Minority Report / int_ad1db87c
comment
Oh, Crap!: Anderton is in pure, breathless panic as he watches the murder he will supposedly commit. When the precogs predict Leo Crow's murder by Anderton, their caretaker offers him a Mercy Lead. On the way out, Anderton gets stuck in an elevator with Danny Witwer, the Department of Justice agent. Witwer confronts Anderton about his neuroin addiction, and Anderton in turn accuses Witwer of framing him and pulls a gun on him. Anderton gets a very brief one when he hears that he is also charged with Danny Witwer's death right when he is haloed. Witwer also gets another one when he is shot. When Anderton and Agatha are making their way through the mall, pay attention to the reaction of the woman to whom Agatha says "Don't go home. He knows." She's more than taken aback: she's BSoD-ing.

Color Motif: The wood a future murder's victim(s) and perpetrator are laser-etched into resembles the color of blood: Spur-of-the-moment second-degree murders with no more than an hour to prevent are "red balls," analogous to fresh, still-wet blood. Premeditated first-degree murders with a four-day window to prevent are "brown balls," analogous to blood that's long since dried.

Jurisdiction Friction: Between Witwer and Precrime.

Later, after Anderton has gone on the run, Witwer tries to claim federal jurisdiction over the case; Burgess stops him, but both of them know that Witwer has enough pull with the AG to get what he wants sooner or later.

Irony: The use of Precogs to prevent crimes unintentionally causes a murder (and a Murder-Suicide and a suicide) to happen in the first place. Burgess created a system that effectively eliminated homicide by killing someone to use their clairvoyant child in order to initiate that system. He also killed another person and tried to frame another for murder in order to keep all this from being revealed.

The Precrime police program prevents homicides and murders by using three precogs to predict the killings before they happen. John Anderton strongly believes in the program's validity until it is predicted that he will kill a man he is never even met before in the next 36 hours. It turns out that all of this is the plan of Precrime's founder Lamar Burgess who wanted to keep Anderton from looking into the death of Anne Lively which would result in Precrime being shut down. Burgess used his own knowledge of how Precrime works to commit the murder and set Anderton up.

It LOOKS like seeing the murderball STARTED the chain of events that led to John meeting Crow and executing him (played straight). Only at the last minute does John demonstrate that he could choose not to (averted), so this is a true subversion for John. Zig-Zagged in that Agatha saw this future, it was just too similar to the other two pre-visions for her to tell the difference.

Doubles as Meaningful Name, as the authors' stories revolved around solving murders. The automotive assembly line chase sequence is a tribute to a planned but un-filmed segment that Alfred Hitchcock had wanted to feature in North By Northwest.

Never Suicide: Lampshaded and inverted by Witwer noticing that none of the murder predictions are predicted as suicides, which is explained as actual murder being what affects the metaphysical fabric that binds humans together, not suicides. This becomes a major flaw in the system's credibility because Crowe and Burgess both end dying from suicidal means. The Precogs failed to forsee that Crowe was offered financial compensation for his family if he died, and that Burgess would shoot himself instead of get revenge for Anderton broadcasting Burgess drowning Anne Lively.

Gun Struggle
 Minority Report / int_d73ecb18
comment
Albeit a somewhat justified one. Anderton learns that he's been predicted to go to a specific kind of building at a specific time to kill someone he's never met. The logical thing to do — which John himself even suggests, only to be talked out of it with some shaky logic — would be to simply lay low until such time that the vision was rendered invalid, at worst proving that the Precogs' vision was wrong or, one could argue, was prevented because he himself chose to prevent it. If he had hung around in the crappy apartment where he got the eye transplant, he'd have been in the clear. As Witwer points out, however, Anderton won't just run and hide, "because he thinks he's innocent". Even when Agatha tries to persuade Anderton not to face his "destiny", Anderton won't, as he does not believe he could have committed a murder and is so driven to find out why he would do so. Anderton does end up not killing the guy intentionally, but it happens anyway thanks to a Gun Struggle.

Red Herring: Witwer looks like the villain initially. The onlooker peering through the window at Anderton's crime scene is just a billboard. Dr. Iris Hineman makes a speech about how when push comes to shove, organisms will fight for their survival. Multiple key characters do just the opposite, Anderton walking straight into the trap with Leo Crowe, Crowe begging Anderton to kill him so his family gets financial compensation, Witwer confronting Burgess who he suspects is a murderer and getting shot dead, and Burgess being Driven to Suicide in the finale after being exposed for murder.

Orgy of Evidence: The Trope Namer. Leo Crow's apartment has photos of children strewn about all over the bed haphazardly, where anyone can see them. Witwer points out how ridiculous it is that Crow would just have left incriminating evidence out in the open for no apparent reason at the same time John arrived, providing the perfect excuse for murder. It's so convenient that he immediately declares the whole thing staged, since he never saw anything like it when he worked as a homicide detective.

 Minority Report / int_de3c879e
comment
Unnaturally Blue Lighting: This movie uses it extensively. Most scenes have it, and the intensity varies from a light dusting to complete submersion - it is a classic modern example of the trope. Lampshaded by Iris Hineman - Anderton cuts himself on a plant in her garden which produces a hallucinogenic toxin, and she tells him that Anderton will soon see a marvelous display of blue objects (by this stage, the audience will have seen little else besides).

Borrowed Biometric Bypass: Retinal scanners are everywhere. Solution: eyeball transplant. Played with in that the intent isn't to use them to get through security, but evade it by appearing to be someone else. Played straight at the end of the film, where Lara uses of John's removed eyes to access the containment wing and break John out. Apparently no one bothers to revoke your access even if you're accused of murder.

A Deadly Affair: In the opening scene, Anderton foils an attempted murder by a man who caught his wife in the middle of an affair with another man, and tried to stab them both with a pair of scissors in the heat of passion. The man had suspected his wife was cheating on him for while and stayed behind to see if she actually was by claiming he "forgot his glasses on his way to work and returned home to get them".

When the precogs predict Leo Crow's murder by Anderton, their caretaker offers him a Mercy Lead. On the way out, Anderton gets stuck in an elevator with Danny Witwer, the Department of Justice agent.

Product Placement
 Minority Report / int_f511ea9b
comment
Product Placement: In the future we will shop at the Gapnote (incorporated since 1947), eat Burger Kingnote (serving burgers since 1954), drink Guinnessnote (brewed since 1759), and pay for it with American Expressnote (lending money since 1850, all of which goes to show that using the same companies 50 years in the future is entirely plausible). And the best part is, none of their logos have changed in the last 50 years. When Anderton looks at his watch, you can see that it is a Bvlgari (around since 1884). However, through most of the film, he's wearing a different watch altogether and we don't notice it because we don't see the logo. Though some of it is to show how ads are everywhere in this world without privacy. Also: the ads know your name, your buying history, your basic medical vital stats (at the moment you walk past) like pulse and respiration rate, and...? Spielberg did this on purpose to show exactly how invasive it could get. It may or may not have had the same effect with made-up products, but then the studio would've had to pay someone to make up products. This way they get verisimilitude and sponsorship money.

Conveniently Interrupted Document: When Anderton finally gets access to Agatha's precognition of the murder of Anne Lively, the vision plays backwards and cuts out immediately before revealing who the killer is. Anderton ignores this because the would-be killer has already been arrested and incarcerated, or so he thinks.

Fantastic Legal Weirdness
 Minority Report / int_f807e541
comment
Fantastic Legal Weirdness: Whether Precrime should even be legal is discussed early on: Witwer indicates that the ACLU considers the system unconstitutional since you're arresting people for crimes they haven't actually committed. Anderton counters that just because you stopped the suspect from committing the crime doesn't change that it would've happened.note And they're still guilty of the crime of "attempted murder" in some cases. The opening sequence also takes pains to show two judges are monitoring the investigation and issuing the arrest warrant. Logically though, it would require at least one Constitutional amendment for this to be allowed. Not only that, but the precogs are more or less slaves, and the mass scans would also be quite illegal in our time.

Dark Secret
 Minority Report / int_f909b16b
comment
Dark Secret: Anderton and by proxy the audience learn some dark secrets about the Pre-crime program he works for and has defended. Anderton goes to see Dr. Iris Hineman, one of the people who helped develop the Pre-crime program and she reveals to him that the precogs are the sole survivors of experiments to test children of neuroin addicts for precognitive abilities. Hineman also reveals that sometimes one precog will see different visions from the other two. The records of these contradicting visions, called minority reports, are covered up and destroyed the instant they occur in order to maintain the image that Precrime is infallible. In other words, there is a good chance that some of the people Precrime has put away are innocent. Anderton is clearly shaken by this information. The most damning revelation is the lengths which Pre-crime founder Lamar Burgess went to in order to validate and maintain the Pre-crime system. When Anne Lively, the mother of one of the precogs decided she wanted her daughter back, Burgess used a weakness in the precogs' visions and murdered her, while making it look like she had in fact been saved from an earlier murder attempt. When Anderton began looking into Anne's disappearance, Burgess used the Pre-crime system to frame him for murder, even going as far as making Anderton think his supposed predestined victim had killed Anderton's son. With his crimes exposed and Pre-crime revealed to be less than perfect, Burgess kills himself to avoid being incarcerated and living to see all he worked for destroyed and the Pre-crime system is shut down.

Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics
 Minority Report / int_fda1a026
comment
Bizarre and Improbable Ballistics: In the original prevision, the manner in which Leo Crow is able to break the window and fall is suspect. The bullet would have to go through Crow with enough force to blow a hole in the window and there would possibly be a bloody mess from an exit wound of that magnitude, or the bullet would have to curve around Crow to compromise the window. Yet, the handgun, a Beretta 9000S, doesn't seem to be of any special high-caliber that would generate such an effect and even then, over-penetration would be a risk to bystanders, so it's unlikely Anderton would be permitted by his department to use such a hand cannon without a good reason. However, this gets subverted because when this scene happens for real, a shot of a bloodless bullet hole is presented to imply that this is why the window's integrity failed, suggesting the bullet missed, Crow still got pushed backwards and fell through the weakened window to his death instead.

Shown Their Work: Spielberg went out of his way to avert Zeerust and accurately represent the kind of technology that will likely be available around the time of the film's setting. Though he put little emphasis on the very likely scenario of Everything Is Online because, face it, slotting glassy memory sticks in and out devices is way cooler than having the data accessible instantly and wirelessly. The memory sticks did correctly anticipate Flash Memory taking off however.
