	Minority Report
	Steven Spielberg Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max Von Sydow, Samantha Morton, Lois Smith, Peter Stormare, Tim Blake Nelson 2002 Two-disc set; widescreen; closed caption; "'Minority Report': From Story to Screen" — director Steven Spielberg recounts his approach to the film's characters and storyline; "Deconstructing 'Minority Report'" — learn how Spielberg brought together a think tank of some of the world's most renowned minds and how this elite group conceived the near-future world of the film; "The Stunts of 'Minority Report'" — how the film's action sequences and stunts were created; "The Digital World of 'Minority Report'" — Industrial Light & Magic creators explain the visual effects; "Final Report" — a discussion with director Steven Spielberg and star Tom Cruise; "'Minority Report' Archives" — production concepts, storyboard sequences, production photographs, production notes, and bios.		The first project that Steven Spielberg chose to direct after the ambitious but flawed sci-fi odyssey "A.I." turns out to be a showcase for his movie-making finesse and blessedly free of his usual sentimental excess. "Minority Report," based on a short story by celebrated sci-fi author Philip K. Dick, is a futuristic crime thriller with icy edge, grit and visual innovation and none of the saccharin that we've come to expect from Spielberg. It may be the director's best film since the unimpeachable "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and that's saying a lot. Plus, top-billed Tom Cruise does his best acting since "Magnolia." Cruise plays John Anderton, chief of an elite police force that uses psychics to predict murders and then arrests the potential killers before they can take a life. It's all good until John is accused of a homicide-to-be and must prove his innocence. With stand-out performances by Samantha Morton as a tragic pre-cognitive, Max Von Sydow as John's boss and Colin Farrell as an FBI investigator.
