Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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.

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. See more » |
