In the year 2054, murder has been eliminated. The future is seen and the guilty punished before the crime has ever been committed. From a nexus deep within the Justice Department's elite Pre-Crime unit, all the evidence to convict--from imagery alluding to the time, place and other details - is seen by "Pre-Cogs," three psychic beings whose visions of murders have never been wrong. It is the nation's most advanced crime force, a perfect system. One day, the head of the unit John Anderton becomes the suspect himself. He is accused of killing a man he has never seen before. The only chance to prove his innocence is to show that the program mistakes and is not as perfect as everyone thought.
