The result is a society that hasn't had a murder in six years, but when the pre-cogs deliver a shocking prediction--that Anderton will kill a man--the stunned cop must run for his life while trying to prove the prognostication is wrong. Colin Farrell (Phone Booth), Samantha Morton (Sweet and Lowdown) and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist) co-star. Written by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen; based on a short story by Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner). "A triumph...four stars" (Roger Ebert).
