SPIELBERG SCI-FI: MINORITY REPORT (THE BIGGER PICTURE)

Director: Steven Spielberg

145 mins, 2002, USA, Digital

Adapted from a story by Philip K. Dick, Spielberg’s sleek, propulsive vision of a near-future where crime is predicted before it occurs is one of his most satisfying pieces of pure entertainment. Tom Cruise’s PreCrime officer John Anderton becomes the system’s next target, forced to flee and question the infallibility of the “precogs.” Blending noir tension with speculative science fiction, Spielberg crafts a gripping meditation on free will, surveillance, and the fragile boundary between justice and control.

The screening will be introduced by author Derek Landy.
