The system seems flawless — until Anderton himself is accused of a future murder he hasn’t committed… yet.
On the run, Anderton must uncover the truth behind PreCrime, question free will versus fate, and decide whether the future is truly set in stone.

The Car Behind the Model: Lexus 2054
In the 2002 blockbuster Minority Report (directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise), Lexus collaborated with the film’s creatives to design a futuristic vehicle called the Lexus 2054. Spielberg — a Lexus owner himself — wanted a believable vision of what automotive tech could look like in the year 2054, and Lexus obliged through their CALTY Design Research team and designer Harald Belker.
This high-concept car wasn’t just CGI — physical props were built for filming, and the concept later appeared in auto shows around the world as a real-life prototype of the future of personal transport.
For Lexus, it wasn’t just product placement — it was a statement about future mobility. By aligning with a high-concept sci-fi world, Lexus positioned itself as a forward thinker in automotive design.
