"The addition of that stately "legacy" to the title strains to confer a retrospective classic status on Disney's virtual reality sci-fi thriller from 1982, about people trapped in a computer game and forced to engage in gladiatorial combat. It might have come as a surprise to some that Tron had much of a legacy; the film was overshadowed by Spielberg's ET in that year, and in the UK suffered the mortification of being upstaged by Peter Greenaway's The Draughtsman's Contract. Yet a generation grew up prizing Tron for being audacious, ahead of its time, a futurist trailblazer about games culture and the digital world."

"When hacker Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) first got zapped inside a computer grid in Tron, the digitized ether was a much simpler place. Black, minimalist, streaked with neon piping and floaty geometric figures, it was home to enslaved "programs" who played deadly gladiatorial games (Frisbee, Jai-alai) at the whim of an evil operating system with a giant Lego head. Everyone wore dorky uniforms. There was no downtown, no crowded arenas, no nightlife and certainly no drunken hobos."

"Trapped in a fight to the finish inside the video world he created. [UK theatrical]"
