OVER BLACK SCENE CARD

Minority Report Makes Future Proof a Trap

Minority Report (2002) ยท PreCrime prediction / Anderton accused by the system he enforces

The premise turns certainty into prosecution. Prediction works dramatically because the hero's job depends on trusting evidence that suddenly targets him.

Why it works

PreCrime is not just cool tech; it is legal procedure, surveillance geography, and belief system. The chase begins when proof becomes an accusation before action exists.
