Minority Report at 15 years: what did it get right?
When "Minority Report" hit theaters on June 21, 2002, it arrived to an America -- and a world -- that feels equal parts familiar and alien. We were less than a year into a post-9/11 climate of increased surveillance and color-coded terror alerts. But smartphones, social media and cloud computing were only at their most nascent forms: the iPod and Windows XP were less than a year old, after all. The film, in which police use psychic "precogs" to arrest people for crimes they haven't yet committed, was based on a Philip K. Dick short story from 1956. But it was set in the year 2054.
