A former family man and officer whose life was torn apart when his young son was kidnapped from a public swimming area. After separating from his wife, John took up a position in an experimental program in D.C. known as 'Pre-Crime.'As head of the Pre-Crime division, John was instrumental in being able to help prevent intended murders in the area, and allowing the program to soon gain attention to possibly go national after the 6-year experiment dropped the murder rate in D.C. to zero.However, John still harbored a dark side, taking illiegal drugs as well as being unable to let go of his past.Complications also arose with the arrival of Danny Witwer, whose investigation into whether Pre-Crime really worked was seen as a threat to John. After Witwer's departure, John is shocked when one of the Pre-Cogs named Agatha grabs onto him, asking 'Can you see?' This is followed by a vision on a nearby screen of a woman being drowned.Shocked by this interaction, John goes down to the containment area where the supervisor named Gideon shows him around. The pre-viz of the woman John saw matches the identity of a woman named Anne Lively. However, John soon encounters numerous other mysteries: along with Anne's caught killer never having been identified, Agatha's pre-viz of the event is missing, as is a location to her current whereabouts. Further research reveals to Anderton that there are even more cases that are missing pre-cog data. John brings this to the attention of Pre-Crime's co-founder Lamar Burgess.The next day, Anderton begins looking through a planned murder of a man named Leo Crow. However, John is shocked when he finds his own face on that of the killer! John quickly runs from the building, but not before being accosted by Danny Witwer in the elevator, who has searched John's apartment and found evidence of hs neuroin drug habit.John rushes from the building, and calls Lamarr, claiming that Witwer has set him up somehow. When his vehicle is locked-down and begins heading back to Pre-Crime, John rushes off, before being chased down by his own Pre-Crime officers. Eventually, Witwer and his men chase John into a car factory, before John manages to escape.Taking the car, he tracks down Pre-Crime's other co-founder, Dr. Iris Hineman. John is further shocked to find that the system that he thought was absolute, is rigged, and that not all Pre-Cogs see the same thing, but majority rules out, and the 'minority report' is excised. Hineman suggests to John that he find a way to break back into Pre-Crime and download his minority report, if he has one, from the mind of the female Pre-Cog, Agatha.John first goes to get eye surgery from a questionable doctor, who saves his former eyes at John's behest. John manages to get around with his new eye, and uses his old ones to get through security eye-dent scanners in the building. John attempts to get his report from Agatha, but Danny Witwer and his men appear, prompting John to take Agatha with him.Going to a VR parlor, John recruits a man named Rufus to hack into Agatha's brain. However, John finds no trace of a 'minority report,' just the same image of him shooting Leo Crow. The anger soon turns to shock when Agatha begins showing the murder of Anne Lively, which is also being recorded by Rufus. Soon after, Pre-Crime tracks John to the parlor, and he and Agatha escape from the shopping center.Nearby, John finds the apartment that was in the previz he was in. Going to the intended room, he finds a number of children's photos on a bed, including one of his son. When the man who is Leo Crowe enters the room, John assaults him as the man says he was the one who murdered John's son. However, even though he wants to, John stops short of killing Leo, intending to arrest him. The man then tells John that he is supposed to kill him, or the man who hired him says his family gets nothing. However, before John can find out more, Leo sets off John's gun, and the man dies.John quickly escapes with Agatha, and returns to his wife's house. They are safe for awhile, until Pre-Crime shows up, arresting John for the murder of Leo Crowe, and Danny Witwer.John is placed in the containment center, but is soon let out at the behest of his wife, who has found evidence against Lamarr Burgess.John then goes to a party celebrating Pre-Crime, and lets Lamarr know what he has uncovered: that Pre-Crime is built on a foundation of lies, and that he deliberately killed Anne Lively, Agatha's Mother, to keep his project alive. John is confronted by Lamarr, who ends up shooting himself rather than go to jail.In the end, John is cleared of his charges, and the Pre-Crime program is shuttered. John reunites with his wife, and they are soon pregnant with another child.
