Spielberg's Future
The place is Washington, the year 2054. Except for the automobiles and some additional skyscrapers, the place doesn't look greatly different. The story centers on a new government bureau, the Department of Precrime, which operates only in the city but is intended to become national. It has a corps of cops--individually airborne via special backpacks--who are alerted to a murder that is about to be committed, and then speed to the scene to keep it from happening. The homicide rate in D.C. has plummeted.
