Whilst there’s little information available about the marketing of this film, Minority Report – now 20 years old – is a masterclass in prediction. It shows how intrusive surveillance could become, how personalised ads could be and paints a scary picture about privacy. We discuss how many of the films predictions have come true. 

It’s also a fantastic action chase movie.
