During their conversation, Hineman tells John that on rare occasions, one of the three Precogs will experience a vision of the future crime that differs from the other two.
Anderton’s escape allows him to track down the person who created the Precog technology, an eccentric older botanist/scientist named Iris Hineman. The victim of Anderton’s future murder is identified as Leo Crow, a man he doesn't even know, and the crime is set to take place in just 36 hours. Shocked by this realization, Anderton makes a run for it, pursued closely by his colleagues in the Precrime unit. After Anderton discovers a mysterious record of a murder from early Precrime days, he is suddenly revealed by the Precogs as the next murderer on the loose. The PreCrime unit is being audited for its effectiveness and efficiency by Danny Witwer of the Department of Justice. Anderton is a highly competent cop who has spiraled into drug addiction since the disappearance of his son, Sean, six years ago. Heading the PreCrime division is John Anderton. The Precogs are three human beings with powers of precognition that allow them to visualize crimes before they happen. The method by which the PreCrime unit prevents murders is through a mixture of advanced technology and the use of Precogs. Murders can be now be stopped before they even occur, thanks to the sophisticated techniques of the PreCrime police unit, headquartered in Washington, D.C.
