Abstract
Actor Tom Cruise storms into a house in the suburbs of Washington and runs straight to the bedroom, just before the resident tries to stab his wife—whom he found in bed with another man—in the chest. Cruise states his name is John Anderton, chief of a police unit focused on crime prevention, and arrests the man for the murder he was about to commit. This opening scene of the movie Minority Report suggests that in the year 2054, predictions will be so exact that people will be arrested before they commit a crime.
