One of the earliest feature films to reflect the video-game craze of the 1980s, Disney's Tron stars Jeff Bridges as computer programmer Kevin Flynn, who becomes part of the very game that he's programming. Flynn's principal antagonist is his glory-grabbing boss, Ed Dillinger (David Warner), who likewise metamorphoses into a video-game character. The title character, a computer-generated superhero, is played by Bruce Boxleitner. Though antiquated by 1990s standards, Tron represented the last word in special effects back in 1982. Surprisingly, despite its long-range influence on the movie industry, the film was a box-office disappointment when first released. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ahh, what can I say: it's a CLASSIC!!! Even though it can be a bit campy at times, if you grew up with this movie then you should definitely take the time to watch it again. It will surely take you back in time to when arcade games only cost a quarter (instead of a dollar). Actually, the movie holds up quite well considering special effects these days. And of course the Light Cycle scene is AWESOME!! I would definitely recommend this movie!! BTW - I can't wait to see Tron 2.0!!!! The trailers look amazing!

IMHO, Rotten Tomato's review was right on: it DOES represent an important landmark in CG animation, while it DOESN'T have a significant emotional impact.

I hadn't seen this yet and wanted to before I watched the new Tron: Legacy. I know this was amazing special effects for the time, but I found this movie extremely boring. I just couldn't get into it.

This is 1 of Disney's best for the time. They were the first to use that special lighting for the special effects. Really worth watching

A Classic. Simply, a classic in its genre. I was in my early teens when I saw it for the first time and I consider it as the second best movie of all times, just after Star Wars. I hope Disney does not screw its real legacy by loading the film with too much re-used FX's. The trailes I've seen so far shows something like that. In order to make it the classic its predecesor was, it has to do something that we have never seen before. Not sure if what we currently know as 3D will achieve that. If my memory does not fail me, Tron was a CGI breakthrough that virtually traced the path for the next projects of this kind. Great plot? Well, can't even remember the details, but I still have the images of the two-wheeler o 'binary' riders inside the path of the circuit board. Simply, amazing. Geez, was that what made me go into IT? LOL
