Minority Report: A Study of Free Will and Control in a Dystopian Future

How one man’s fight against a predictive justice system challenges the notion of fate and uncovers the flaws of a controlled society.

Minority Report is one of those sci-fi films that not only entertains but forces its audience to think deeply about the role of free will, fate, and control in human society. Directed by Steven Spielberg, this 2002 film presents a dystopian world where crime is no longer something that happens—it's something that can be prevented, thanks to the existence of three "precogs" who can predict murders before they occur.
