Minority Report's ending has sparked theories ranging from the shutdown of the Precrime system to Tom Cruise being in a "halodreaming state."

Minority Report was released in 2002 and still ranks as one of the most outstanding works ever tamed by Steven Spielberg. Starring Tom Cruise, it dealt with the themes of free will versus determinism in a world where the Precrime police anticipate crimes and stop them before they happen. But things take a turn for the worse when Cruise's hero is convicted of murder.
Although it eventually results in the system being proven wrong and safely shut down with all potential killers and precogs freed, some fans haven't exactly been happy due to the questions left unanswered. If anything, this even has theories that Tom Cruise's John Anderton may be living in a halo-dreaming state while the Precog program continues to run!
After Tom Cruise's John Anderton publicly states that the Precrime system is not 100% accurate because not everyone who is predicted to murder someone goes through with them, the system is completely shut down and the precogs are sent to an unknown location to live in peace. But this raised a big question: Why shut down the system completely?
