Minority Report

from Watch What You Read · host Justin Savaso

Hannah and Justin break down the early 2000s sci-fi classic Minority Report starring Tom Cruise. They discuss the short story that inspired the film, why the movie feels even more relevant today, and how its ideas about PreCrime connect to the modern rise of AI and predictive technology. Plus, they dive into the big questions at the heart of the story: determinism vs. free will, whether knowing the future changes the future, and how much control we really have over our own choices.
