Steven Spielberg's Minority Report remains one of the most thought-provoking sci-fi blockbusters of the 21st century. In this episode of Reel 21, Nathan revisits the 2002 thriller to explore its surprisingly accurate vision of the future, the ethical questions behind the PreCrime division and why its central mystery remains so compelling more than two decades later.

Does the film deserve its place among the century's essential movies? And how does it stack up against Spielberg's most celebrated work?

Up next: Michael Clayton.
