    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • 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".
    • Goofs
      When Ram and Flynn are back in their cells Ram is doing tricks with his identity disk. The close-up of Ram's hands show he has no gloves on. When they cut to a wide shot Ram has gloves on.
    • Quotes

      Alan Bradley: [about the digitizing laser] Great. Can it send me to Hawaii?

      Lora: Yep, but you gotta purchase your program 30 days in advance. How's it going upstairs?

      Alan Bradley: Frustrating. I had Tron almost ready, when Dillinger cut everyone with Group-7 access out of the system. I tell you ever since he got that Master Control Program, the system's got more bugs than a bait store.

      Dr. Walter Gibbs: [laughs] You've got to expect some static. After all, computers are just machines; they can't think.

      Alan Bradley: Some programs will be thinking soon.

      Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand? Computers and the programs will start thinking and the people will stop.

    • Crazy credits
      A section of the end credits is in Traditonal Chinese. They are the names of the individuals who worked on the movie from the company based in Taipei Taiwan.
    • Alternate versions
      The light cycle sequence originally had background music. This alternate scene is present on the special laserdisc edition.

    Dated.....But Still One Of Those One-Of-A-Kind Movies You Should Check Out
    When this came out, about 25 years ago, the special-effects were eye-popping. I was stunned and saw this twice at the theater, something I rarely did. Nowadays, it looks primitive. It's like when video games first came out, compared to what they are now.

    However, a few years ago when the DVD came out with the widescreen and 5.1surround sound, it made it somewhat-respectable again in parts and made it still fun to watch.

    The story was never that great. There was too much technical talk and the characters were the kind you really couldn't get involved over.

    It's nothing super, but if you've never seen it, I still recommend it. I don't recall any other movie quite like it.
