Tron is a 1982 American science fiction film by Walt Disney Pictures the film is now 27 years old.   Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) is a gifted software engineer who used to work for the software corporation ENCOM, until he was swindled out of several video games he had created for the company by his former colleague Ed Dillinger (David Warner) who stole Flynn’s work and presented it as his own.  In doing so Dillinger earns himself a series of executive promotions, while Flynn is relegated to working at a video game arcade featuring the games that he had created.  Flynn is sure that if he can get inside the ENCOM mainframe he can find evidence of Dillinger’s wrongdoing but his program, Clu is caught and defeated by the Master Control Program (MCP).  The MCP with Dillinger’s authorization shuts down access to the security group Flynn is using,inadvertently locking out another ENCOM employee Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner).  Alan speaks to Dillinger about his access and reveals that he´s working on a security program called Tron which would monitor communications between the MCP and the outside world.  Alan is denied access for now and leaves after which the MCP confronts Dillinger about this, stating that it cannot afford to have programs monitoring it. Meanwhile Alan and his girlfriend Dr Lora Baines (Cindy Morgan) go to Flynn´s arcade and warn Flynn that he’s been noticed but instead of listening he convinces them to sneak him into ENCOM’s laser laboratory, where he can forge access to a different security group.  Lora who has been developing a method of digitizing real objects into the computer sets Flynn down at her terminal in the laser lab, where a laser is pointed directly at the terminal.  As Flynn pokes around the company computer system he is confronted by the MCP, who takes control of the laser and suddenly digitizes Flynn into the ENCOM mainframe.  Flynn wakes up dazed and confused realizing hes in the digital world, where Programs resemble their human creators The Users. Flynn is taken first to a holding pit where he meets the Program Ram and then he is taken with a number of other Programs to meet Sark, a control program that resembles Dillinger who is tasked with eliminating Flynn.  The MCP wants Flynn to be run through a series of game programs where he will be de res’d (deleted) upon being defeated.  Sark then informs everyone that they can either renounce their belief in The Users and join the MCP  or they will be forced to play a series of games that result in their eventual elimination.  more…
