Minority Report

I saw the movie "Minority Report" a 2002 American science fiction action film directed by Steven Spielberg, starring Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell Samantha Morton and
Max von Sydow.
It's loosely based on the 1956 short story "The Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick and screenplay by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen.

This film was one of the best-reviewed films of 2002 and was nominated for several awards. It received an Academy Award nomination for Best Sound Editing, and eleven Saturn Award nominations, including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Saturn Award for Best Music, winning Best Science Fiction Film, Best Direction, Best Writing, and Best Supporting Actress.
Box office is $358 million.

I read an article about the film. It says---
This story's main theme is the question of free will versus determinism. It examines whether free will can exist if the future is set and known in advance.
Other themes include the role of preventive government in protecting its citizenry, the role of media in a future state where technological advancements make its presence nearly boundless, the potential legality of an infallible prosecutor.

That's horrible!

The story is---
In 2054 in Washington, D.C., the police authorities is using the "PreCrime" program as a prototype.
Three clairvoyant people, "Precogs" visualize impending murders and officers analyze the data to determine the
location, murderers and the time using technology.
And arrest them before the crimes occur.

Lamar Burgess, Director of Precrime is planning to implement the system to whole country.

He says "The system is perfect. In Washington, DC.
the crime rate is zero percent with this "PreCrime" police program."

But is it true?
Isn't there any defect here?
Those three Precogs are treated terribly to make them work hard.
Do three Precogs see(or visualize) the only one true future together?

If the program has even one defects, Burgess's ambition wouldn't be able to realize.
Isn't there possibility that he hide something awkward?

The program's commanding officer, John Anderton joined the Pre-Crime program six years earlier after his young son, Sean, was kidnapped and never found. He is depressed, withdrawn, and addicted to neuroin. His wife, Lara, has since left him.
And one day, the Precogs predict John kills someone he has never met.
He escapes the facility and meets PreCrime founder, Dr. Iris Hineman.
She says, one Precog occasionally sees a different future vision from the other two.
And those "minority reports" are removed from official record, since group precognition agreement is the foundation of the PreCrime bylaws.
She also reveals, early neuroin adopters and addicts were predisposed to having mentally disabled children, many of which had precognitive abilities. In the testing of the precognitive children, most had passed away except for three who were turned over to PreCrime.

Anderton returns to PreCrime and kidnaps Agatha, the most clairvoyant Precog and asks her help.

John Anderton finds this program's defect and tries to disclose it, but he is arrested before doing that.
The story is developing to horrible direction.

But in the end, we, human being would never be controlled
by technology, I thought, seeing this movie.
And never exists perfect "Pre-Crime operation".
People never can see the future perfectly.
Living being is much stronger and smarter than machine or technology.

Tom Cruise excellently performed the person who never gives up and fights to the end even in the state of hopeless.
It really become him.
