Answer
Minority Report
Which 2002 Spielberg film stars Tom Cruise as PreCrime officer John Anderton? Minority Report is the film. Cruise plays John Anderton, the chief officer of a futuristic Washington, D.C., police program that arrests people before they commit murder.
The PreCrime system relies on three psychics, called precogs, whose visions are interpreted by police technicians. Anderton trusts the system until it predicts that he will kill a man named Leo Crow, whom he claims never to have met. The resulting chase turns the film's central idea—whether the future can be changed—into a personal crisis.
The movie is loosely based on Philip K. Dick's 1956 science-fiction story “The Minority Report,” but it substantially changes the setting, characters and plot. Steven Spielberg directed the film, with Colin Farrell, Samantha Morton and Max von Sydow in major roles. John Williams composed the score.
Oblivion and Vanilla Sky also feature Tom Cruise in science-fiction or speculative roles, which can cause confusion, but neither was directed by Spielberg. Collateral is a crime thriller directed by Michael Mann.
