A jövő békésebb lesz. Legalább is Amerikában, ahol egy különleges rendőri egység három telepatikus képességekkel rendelkező lény segítségével minden gyilkosságot még elkövetése előtt leleplez. A rendőrök a médiumok segítségével a jövőbe látnak, előre gyűjtik össze a bizonyítékokat, tárják őket a bíróság elé, és a helyszínen, még az elkövetés előtt tartóztatják le a bűnöst.A rendszer tökéletes. Ám egyszer a cég parancsnoka, John Anderton mégis kételkedni kezd. Nem csoda: a jelentés szerint ugyanis ő maga fog 36 órán belül gyilkosságot elkövetni. Áldozatát nem ismeri, nem tudja, hol és miért gyilkolná meg az idegent. Társai természetesen a nyomába erednek, hogy megakadályozzák a gyilkosságot. Ő pedig menekül, hogy még időben kideríthesse, tévedtek-e a jósok, vagy igazuk van, és ő rendőrből valóban bűnözővé válik-e nemsokára.
