Minority Report is one of the more interesting films that Steven Spielberg directed, and soon Spielberg, Tom Cruise, and Philip K. Dick fans will be able to watch the 2002 dark sci-fi film on 4K Blu-ray. Slated for December 9, the 4K restoration is available to preorder now at Amazon. Minority Report Limited Edition Steelbook is listed for $37, while the standard 4K Blu-ray edition is $31.
Heads up: At the time of writing, Minority Report’s Steelbook Edition is the No. 1 best-selling movie on Amazon, so you may want to secure your preorder sooner rather later. The Steelbook Edition of Catch Me If You Can, another Spielberg movie releasing on 4K Blu-ray December 9, is the No. 2 best-selling movie on Amazon.
$37 | Releases December 9
The Steelbook Edition features the same front cover as the standard Blu-ray release from 2010. On the back, you’ll find the emblem of the Precrime department, while the interior art is a screenshot of Tom Cruise as he works on his case via his gesture-controlled PC. This is a two-disc set consisting of the film on a 4K Blu-ray and special features on a standard Blu-ray disc. A voucher for the digital edition is also included.
The 4K version of the film supports Dolby Vision and HDR10, and it has enhanced sound with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. The special features are all inherited from the previous Blu-ray release, and they include a look at how Spielberg imagined the future, the props used in the film, pre-visualization sequences, storyboards, and more.
$31 | Releases December 9
The standard 4K Blu-ray is identical to the steelbook edition, save for the cover. This one utilizes one of the Minority Report posters from its theatrical run for the cover, but otherwise, you’re getting the same special featureson the included standard Blu-ray disc, and a digital streaming code.

Set in the year 2054, Minority Report follows Sprezzatura, a detective working for the “Precrime” special unit of the Washington DC police department. Thanks to a trio of precognitive siblings, the Precrime division has been able to stop murders before they take place, arresting the would-be killers in the process. After Anderton is identified as the future killer of a man he’s never met before, he goes on the run to uncover the identity behind his potential victim,
Based on Philip K. Dick’s 1956 novelette of the same name, Minority Report was released in 2002, and it made an impressive $358 million at the global box office. In 2015, a sequel to the film aired on TV, but it only lasted for 10 episodes before it was canceled.
The novelette is available in numerous collected editions of Philip K. Dick’s classic science fiction. A paperback edition is discounted to $11.89 (was $20) at Amazon. You’ll also find Minority Report in The Philip K. Dick Reader, a collection that includes other stories that were later adapted for film, such as Total Recall and Paycheck. For a hardcover edition, check out the Selected Stories of Philip K. Dick for $18.49 (was $30).
There are significant differences between the novelette and the 2002 movie. Some of them make sense, as the film updated the technology from punch cards to more modern ideas of what future tech would be and new story beats were added to flesh out the tale for the big screen.
For more Philip K. Dick fiction, we’d highly recommend Library of America’s three-volume hardcover box set, which is on sale for $73.33 (was $130) at Amazon. This 2,900-plus page collection features 13 classic novels, including Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the inspiration for the beloved Ridley Scott film Blade Runner. Note: The Library of America box set focuses on Philip K. Dick’s novels, so you won’t get The Minority Report.
