This week on Reel Chums, we’re discussing the sleek, stylish, and startlingly predictive world of Minority Report (2002). Directed by Steven Spielberg and based on Philip K. Dick’s short story, this sci-fi noir explores free will, fate, and surveillance through the lens of futuristic law enforcement—and Tom Cruise’s determined sprinting.

We look at the film’s stunning world-building, wild (yet accurate) tech predictions, and its deep philosophical questions: Can knowing your future help you change it? Is free will real if a system already knows your choices? And why are those clear glass screens so annoying?

From the haunting spider bots to the unexpected heart of Agatha’s visions, we discuss why Minority Report still hits hard over 20 years later and how it fits beautifully into our “Wrongfully Accused” theme for the month.
