TAGLINES : On the other side of the screen, it all looked so easy... " "A world inside the computer where man has never been. Never before now - A computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program. Hacker/arcade owner Kevin Flynn is digitally broken down into a data stream by a villainous software pirate known as Master Control and reconstituted into the internal, 3-D graphical world of computers. It is there, in the ultimate blazingly colorful, geometrically intense landscapes of cyberspace, that Flynn joins forces with Tron to outmaneuver the Master Control Program that holds them captive in the equivalent of a gigantic, infinitely challenging computer game.

Nominated for TWO Academy Award OSCARs including Best Costume Design. CAST includes Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan, Barnard Hughes, Peter Jurasik, Dan Shor, Michael Dudikoff, Jerry Maren. BEHIND THE SCENES TRIVIA : The film was disqualified from receiving an Academy Award nomination for special effects, because the Academy felt at the time that using computer generated effects was "cheating".

While the film was a commercial failure, the arcade video games based on it proved to be a tremendous hit and actually out-grossed the film. Many Disney animators refused to work on this movie because they feared that computers would put them out of business.

In fact, 22 years later Disney closed its hand-drawn animation studio in favor of CGI animation. Hand-drawn animation was ultimately resumed at Disney at the behest of new creative director John Lasseter, also head of Pixar- ironically a computer animation company. CAST INCLUDES : Ray Milland, Sam Elliott, Joan Van Ark, Adam Roarke, Judy Pace, Lynn Borden, Mae Mercer, David Gilliam, Nicholas Cortland, Hollis Irving.
