Answer:
The film Minority Report is based on a Philip K Dick short story of the same name.
In the book, the precogs are named Mike DOnna and Jerry. But the movie renamed them Agatha, Arthur and Dashiell, a tribute to Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle and Dashiel Hammett (respectively).

Spielberg\’s source material for minority report is a 1956 short story by Philip K. Dick (his fiction inspired Blade Runner and Total Recall) cannily adapted by Scott Frank and Jon Cohen and set in the year 2054. Cruise\’s John Anderton watched his life come apart six years ago when his son was kidnapped – divorce and drugs ensued — just as his Pre-Crime unit took off. Using the skills of a trio of psychics named after three great mystery writers — Arthur (Conan Doyle), Dash (Hammett) and Agatha (Christie) — these pre-cogs lie in a pool in a secure space called the Temple and see murders-to-be that computers turn into images and Anderton orchestrates into police action
