‘Minority Report’ and 18 More Movies That Accurately Predicted Future Tech (Photos)

Today is the 15th anniversary of the release of “Minority Report,” one of the most innovative and prescient sci-fi movies to grace the big screen. [...] in honor of the Steven Spielberg-Tom Cruise masterpiece, we wanted to run through 20 movies that predicted modern tech. Elon Musk, Google, and Uber have been duking it out to bring self-driving cars to the masses, but Arnold Schwarzenegger might have jumpstarted the competition when he took a robot-controlled ride in 1990’s “Total Recall.” “The Terminator” predicted military drones long before they were introduced to police forces and militaries. Harrison Ford’s cult classic “Blade Runner” predicted digital billboards, which see now all over the country, from Times Square in New York to the Vegas strip. Remember when the TSA rolled out invasive body scanners and a lot of people freaked out? Airplane II: “War Games” is all about a kid who walks the line between gaming and reality.
