Considered one of the 100 best films of the century by the New York Times, “Minority Report,” starring Tom Cruise, has arrived on the streaming giant’s catalog 23 years after its release.

The film is based on the work of Philip K. Dick and features notable names like Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton, and Max von Sydow, alongside Tom Cruise. “Minority Report” ranks 94th on the list of the 100 best films of the century.

Set in 2054, the “Top Gun” star plays John Anderton, a police officer working in a division called “PreCrimes,” responsible for arresting people before they commit crimes.

However, John is accused of a murder predicted to happen in the future, which starts a frantic chase.

Some more advanced technologies, like Tom Cruise’s jetpack, have not yet materialized in reality.

“Minority Report” is already available on Netflix UK and Ireland.
