Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson are currently starring in the new film Mercy, but long before that, Steven Spielberg explored similar themes of technology and justice with his 2002 sci-fi hit, Minority Report. That film, which is about to be removed from free streaming platforms, eerily predicted future possibilities. It stars Tom Cruise as a man wrongly accused of a crime he hasn’t committed, and is set in the year 2054.
Released in theaters on June 21, 2002, Minority Report is inspired by a 1956 short story called The Minority Report by Philip K. Dick, which originally appeared in Fantastic Universe magazine. The film presents a future where crimes are stopped before they happen, thanks to gifted individuals called “precogs” who can foresee criminal activity. However, the system isn’t foolproof. When Tom Cruise’s character, John Anderton—the leader of the “precrime” unit—is accused of a murder he hasn’t committed, he must clear his name and find the true killer.
Featuring Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, and Max von Sydow, Minority Report was a major success with moviegoers. It opened at number one in theaters and ultimately grossed $358 million, making it the tenth highest-earning film of 2002.
Since it came out, Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report is consistently ranked among the best science fiction films ever made – and for good reason. It’s brilliantly crafted, creating incredible tension and suspense in a surprisingly believable future world. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s currently available to stream on Tubi for free, but you’ll need to act fast – it’s leaving the platform at the end of January, so now is a great time to watch this amazing film.
‘Minority Report’ Inspired a Short-Lived TV Spinoff
20th Century Fox
Although the film Minority Report was successful, the 2015 TV series on Fox didn’t fare as well. Set eleven years after the movie’s events, the show followed a partnership between a person who can foresee crimes—a “precog”—and a police detective, working together to prevent violence before it occurs.
I was really excited when I heard they were making a TV show based on Spielberg’s Minority Report – the movie is a classic! Sadly, it just didn’t catch on with viewers. It got pretty bad reviews, and the ratings weren’t much better, so Fox cancelled it after only 10 episodes back in 2016. Honestly, most people seem to have forgotten about it, as it’s not on any of the big streaming services. But, if you’re curious, you can still buy the whole series on Fandango at Home or Apple TV.
