Q: Build a movie plot around this: What is Helmut's job in New York? Taxi driver
A: Los Angeles:As evening falls, sassy tomboy cabby Corky (Winona Ryder) picks up hot-shot Hollywood executive Victoria Snelling (Gena Rowlands) from the airport, and as Corky drives, Victoria tries to conduct business over the phone. Despite their extreme differences socially, the two develop a certain connection. Sometime during the ride Victoria, who is evidently a talent scout or casting director, discovers that Corky would be ideal for a part in a movie she is casting, but Corky rejects the offer, as she has plans to become a mechanic.New York:Helmut Grokenberger (Armin Mueller-Stahl), a mild East German immigrant who was once a clown in his home country, now works in New York as a taxi driver. He picks up a passenger named YoYo (Giancarlo Esposito), a brash, streetwise young man and attempts to drive him to Brooklyn. Helmut doesn't really know how to drive with an automatic transmission so he allows YoYo to drive. On their way, they pick up YoYo's argumentative sister-in-law Angela (Rosie Perez). The story revolves around Helmut's attempts to understand and become a part of the culture of New York.Paris:A blind woman (Beatrice Dalle) goes for a ride at night with a driver (Isaach De Bankole) who hails from the Ivory Coast. They both take some verbal jabs at each other during the ride. The driver asks his passenger what it's like to be blind and she attempts to explain to him, but their cultural differences and differences of life experience make things difficult. An ironic twist at the end of the segment turns upon a French pun near the beginning of it: When the driver states his nationality as "Ivoirien," some other Africans mock him with the punning phrase "Y voit rien" (he sees nothing there). After he drops off his blind passenger, he feels fascinated by her and gazes in her direction. This inattention to driving causes him to crash into another car, whose driver angrily accuses him of being blind.Rome:In the wee morning hours, a very eccentric cabbie (Roberto Benigni) picks up a priest (Paolo...
Question: Build a movie plot around this: What are the three mutated humans predicting murders called? Precogs
Answer: In Washington, D.C. in the year 2054, John Anderton (Tom Cruise) is head of a new police force called "PreCrime," which has driven down the murder rate in the DC area significantly by allowing the police to stop murders before they can even be committed. Data is obtained from "PreCogs," three mutated humans who can see into the future. When the PreCogs detect that a murder is going to be committed, an automated system processes two painted wooden balls: one with the name of the perpetrator engraved into it, and one with the name of the victim or victims engraved into it (the system itself being designed to be tamperproof). The color of the ball indicates what kind of murder they are facing: a brown ball indicates a premeditated murder, which the PreCogs can predict up to four days out. A red ball indicates a crime of passion, which, due to the lack of premeditation, cannot be seen until often no less than an hour before the crime is to be committed.The only three things that the PreCogs can predict are the victim or victims, the perpetrator, and the exact date and time of the crime. Thus, Anderton and his team have to perform a meticulous process called "scrubbing", where they process the images produced from the precogs' visions in order to locate telltale clues and thus narrow down the location. Once they are certain of the location, the team flies there to thwart the crime. They then secure the culprit by "haloing" him (a device placed around his head that renders him fully incapacitated).After the suspect has been apprehended, the murder reappears on the displays. As it turns out, the PreCogs sometimes think about a crime that has been stopped, and that these "echo" images are deleted from the system.Today, Anderton receives an early morning Red Ball case. The perpetrator is going to be a male in his 40s, and the victims are going to be a woman and another man, and the crime is going to be committed at exactly 8:04 a.m, which is 24 minutes from now. Anderton goes to work scrubbing the visions produced by...
