27 years ago, the film industry embarked on a way of using computer graphics extensively from a major studio and since then it’s changed the way we view film ever since. Many of you may remember Tron from Disney starring Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn, a young and gifted programmer who once worked for the software corporation ENCOM, creating several video games on the company’s mainframe after hours, aiming to start his own game company. However, another programmer, Ed Dillinger, locked Flynn out of the system and presented Flynn’s work as his own. Dillinger earned himself a series of executive promotions, while Flynn was relegated to working at a video game arcade, featuring the games that he created. Flynn tried to hack into the ENCOM mainframe to find evidence of Dillinger’s wrongdoing, but his program is caught and Flynn is sucked into the digital realm by the Master Control Program (MCP).
Tron Legacy returns with Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn, looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant, father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.
