Minority Report

Watch the original version of Minority Report

the unexplained image of the victim that the Pre-Cogs couldn’t decipher.

Prologue

John Anderton had been the leader of Precrime for the past ten years and its success in Washington D.C. had been attributed to him. Precrime was an elite law enforcing squad that used crime predicting technology to apprehend perpetrators before they could commit a crime.

What started as a revolutionary experiment to reduce crime in the Capital city had proven to be a roaring success. Anderton himself was adamant in his defence of the system and believed its flawlessness steadfastly.

But today, the Pre-Cogs had predicted that Anderton himself would commit a murder in the next 36 hours.

Chapter 1

John Anderton was dumbstruck when he heard the Pre-Cogs’ announcement. His mind raced as he tried to comprehend the seemingly unimaginable situation. How could he be the perpetrator of a crime? He had been so sure of the system’s success and now it seemed that it had failed him.

He was determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. He decided he needed to find out the ‘Minority Report’ – the unexplained image of the victim that the Pre-Cogs couldn’t decipher.

He prepared himself to go against the system he had so painstakingly built, and set out in the dead of the night.

Chapter 2

John made his way through the dark and deserted streets of Washington D.C., searching for the elusive ‘Minority Report’. His mind replayed the events of the night before and he felt a sense of dread as he contemplated the consequences of his actions.

Suddenly, he heard a noise from an alley nearby. He cautiously approached it, his heart pounding wildly in his chest. As he peered into the shadows of the alley, he was startled to see a figure emerge. It was an old woman, her eyes wild with fear.

The old woman spoke, her voice trembling with fear. She spoke of a powerful force that was manipulating the Pre-Cogs and how only John could save them.

Chapter 3

John was surprised by the woman’s words. He knew that Precrime had been a success because of its accuracy, but he couldn’t imagine anyone tampering with the Pre-Cogs. He questioned the old woman further but she was too frightened to say more.

John left the alley, his mind whirling with questions. He needed to find out who was behind this and why they had chosen him as the target. He decided to head to the Precrime headquarters and confront the Pre-Cogs.

He arrived at the headquarters and immediately ordered the Pre-Cogs to reveal the identity of the perpetrator. The Pre-Cogs responded with a single name – John Anderton.

Chapter 4

John was stunned. He had never expected the Pre-Cogs to turn against him. He knew that someone had set him up, but without any evidence he felt helpless. He was determined to find out the truth, but he felt overwhelmed by the situation.

He decided to confront the woman from the alley and ask her to provide him with more information. He returned to the alley, but the woman was gone and there was no trace of her.

John was frustrated but he knew he had to keep going. He set out to search for the ‘Minority Report’, hoping that it would provide him with the answers he was seeking.

Chapter 5

The search for the ‘Minority Report’ led John to an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city. He cautiously entered the building, expecting the worst. But, to his shock, he found a small child sitting on the floor.

The child explained to John that a powerful man was manipulating the Pre-Cogs and using them to frame innocent people. He revealed that he was the victim in Anderton’s ‘Minority Report’ and had been held captive in the warehouse.

John was angry but relieved. He had finally found the answers he had been searching for. He quickly freed the child and vowed to bring the perpetrator to justice.

Epilogue

John Anderton kept his promise. He uncovered the identity of the man behind the Pre-Cogs’ manipulation and brought him to justice. He also exposed the crimes committed by Precrime that had been hidden from the public.

Though the Precrime unit was disbanded, John’s actions saved hundreds of innocent lives and restored justice to Washington D.C. His bravery and determination will be remembered for generations to come.

It looks like you, sir.

My name is Dr. Weir. I’m the mastermind behind the Pre-Cogs.

DR. WEIR

I created the Pre-Cogs to help eliminate crime in Washington D.C. But something went wrong.

Anderton looks at Agatha. She had been right.

DR. WEIR (cont’d)

I realized that the Pre-Cogs’ visions could be manipulated. Someone has been manipulating them to frame you for murder.

Anderton stares in shock.

ANDERTON

Who is it?

DR. WEIR

I cannot say. But I can tell you this: they are very powerful, and they will stop at nothing to see you fail.
