Not quite. Minority Report is about pre-crime: a crime you haven't committed but allegedly will.

Not the whole movie, just the way they try to capture him.
He's in that weird automated hover car with the rotating front/rear that can transition to/from being an elevator up the side of a building. It locks him in and starts driving to the police. He kicks out the window, then jumps onto another moving vehicle.
I think of this every time there is any discussion of cars that have data connections or can drive themselves. If stopping a driver is as easy as entering something into a computer, then it will be done far more often and with less justification.

Oh, I forgot about that scene. It's been a while since I watched it.
