Agatha, “Minority Report”
In the year 2054, three psychics known as "precogs" provide a special police task force with foreknowledge of crimes. They point the “precrime” officers to a future culprit and the squad swoops in to make an immediate arrest. Sure, it raises questions of free will and due process, but Precrime Captain John Anderton (Tom Cruise) defends the system as fool-proof—until one day it’s his face that shows up in the precogs’ visions. A panicked Anderton abducts Agatha (Samantha Morton), the most powerful psychic, and uses her skills to evade his colleagues. In one unforgettable sequence, Agatha instructs Anderton to stand perfectly still in the middle of a bustling shopping mall. At precisely the moment they might be spotted, a man holding balloons stops in front of them, shielding them from view. The superhuman wins.
