Minority Report

In the year 2054, the city of Washington D.C. has become a global model of security and crime prevention, thanks to the implementation of a revolutionary system known as Precrime. This elite police unit not only investigates crimes after they occur, but stops them before they happen. The key to its success lies in an advanced psychic technology that has completely transformed the way justice is understood and applied.

At the heart of this system is a trio of extraordinary beings known as “precogs,” short for “precognitives.” These individuals possess psychic abilities that allow them to foresee murders with astonishing accuracy. Confined in a special chamber and connected to sophisticated computer systems, the precogs generate detailed visions of the future. These premonitions are then interpreted by Precrime agents, who act immediately to arrest potential offenders before they can carry out the violent act.

The foundation of Precrime raises a profound ethical question: can someone be considered guilty of a crime they have not yet committed? For its supporters, the results speak for themselves. Since its implementation, Washington D.C. has not recorded a single homicide. Security has reached unprecedented levels, and society seems to have taken a giant leap toward the total elimination of violent crime.
