Washington, D.C., 2054. A specialised police unit arrests people for murders that have not yet happened, guided by three gifted individuals who see crimes before they occur. Its star officer trusts the method completely. The film is a chase thriller and a moral puzzle in one.
Why it matters in cinema history
A landmark of early-2000s science fiction, it carried the Philip K. Dick tradition of paranoid, philosophical sci-fi into the digital blockbuster era, with Spielberg applying classical suspense craft to it.
Watch with intention
Watch it as a detective story in which the future city, with its interfaces and advertising, is itself part of the evidence.
