A masterpiece of breakthrough CGI ingenuity, Disney celebrates the 20th anniversary of TRON, a dazzling film at the flashpoint of a continuing revolution in its genre. This special collector's edition showcases an epic adventure inside a brave new world where the action is measureed in microseconds. When Flynn (Jeff Bridges) hacks the mainframe of his ex-employer to prove his work was stolen by another executive, he finds himself on a much bigger adventure. Beamed inside by a power-hungry master control program, he joins computer gladiators on a deadly game grid, complete with high-velocity "light cycles" and Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), a specialized security program. Together, they fight the ultimate battle with the MCP to decide the fate of both the electronic world and the real world!

TRON rules!

Being from the Atari generation... it's clear to see that TRON was a revolutionary movie. This movie must not be judged by its inherent bad acting, and 'prehistoric' CGA sequences - but rather judgement based on the genious endevour depcting what might occur inside of a CPU assuming that programs, disk utilities, and general computer functions have conciousness.
A must for any techno-dorks like myself that revel in our computer age world.
This is where it all started. TRON. dont miss it.

The definitive 1980's technology film.

Tron was a part of my childhood growing up in the 70's and 80's: a science fiction fantasy set in a perceived future where the mainframe computer would become a force to be reckoned with. The brilliant, albeit primitive, merging of photography and digital imagery, combined with the incredible musical score by Wendy Carlos (a deliberate hybrid of orchestral and electronic instrumentation - the soundtrack alone is worth purchasing), made this film a milestone and a must-have for any sci-fi lover.

End of line.

Games Without Borders

"Tron" is one of Disney's singular live action achievements. Before the Matrix, before Dark City, Disney tackled virtual reality. One may chuckle at the primitive special effects now... but it still stands as a timeless classic. It's got a thrilling,suspenseful story,an interesting premise,good acting,and a cool techno score.

"Tron" is about a young video game designer,Flynn (Jeff Bridges,in computer geek slacker mode). His ideas have been pirated by the evil Dillinger (David Warner,enjoying it) Flynn has to regain his programs. He plunges into the world of virtual reality--meeting up with Tron (Bruce Boxleitner,in his pre-Babylon 5 days) and Sora. They are part of the "Electric Gladiator Games." They ride lightcycles,they compete in a form of jai alai,the traditional Basque game. In the extended edition,there are deleted scenes,such as a suggestive love scene between Tron and Sora. Tron sacrifices himself to save the day.

For Boxleitner,his Tron role made up for not receiving the coveted role of Luke Skywalker (at the time,called Luke Starkiller) Tron IS a memorable role,even for those of us who haven't seen him in Babylon 5.

"Tron" is truly an electrifying movie. Plug in!
