TRON is a 1982 Science Fiction film directed by Steven Lisberger, produced by Donald Kushner, and written by Lisberger from a story made by Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird. Released on July 9, 1982, the film marked the beginning of a multimedia franchise by Disney.Video game developer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), trying to prove that Corrupt Corporate Executive Ed Dillinger (David Warner) has stolen his videogame programs, is sucked into the digital world inside the computer, where anthropomorphic programs are consigned to fight for their lives in gladiatorial games. With the help of Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), an independent security program developed by programmer Alan Bradley, Flynn must try to destroy the evil Master Control Program from within, bring liberty to the cyber realm, and find a way of returning himself to the real world.Sounds simple enough, right?Although computer-generated special effects had appeared in film as early as 1973, TRON marked the first time that computers were used to create something "real", rather than to just represent computer graphics (sort of "real", anyway, since the story takes place inside a computer). Ironically, a large portion of the special effects in TRON were actually hand-drawn; even the computer-generated objects and environments had to have their geometry entered by hand for every frame, since no practical method of automating the process existed at the time. In general, the light cycles, tanks, recognizers and the Solar Sail were CGI — however, the huge amount of processing time required versus how much was available at the time required that they be rendered in black and white and hand-colored later.Despite its bold look and bolder ambitions — especially for Disney, which was sinking further into irrelevance at that time — TRON was a commercial disappointment (it didn't lose money, but wasn't the hit Disney had intended it to be). The proven box-office poison that the Disney name was for anything but outright kiddie stuff at the time led to the creation of Touchstone Pictures two years later.To add insult to injury, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences considered it "cheating" for TRON to have used computers to create the special effects, resulting in the film not getting nominated for Best Special Effects. The film's failure, along with AMPAS's anti-CGI prejudice, put CGI development on the backburner for years; while a few later productions made use of CGI elements (Return of the Jedi, Young Sherlock Holmes, Flight of the Navigator, and, most notably, The Last Starfighter), it would not be until 1989's The Abyss, and later 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day and 1993's megahit Jurassic Park, that computer-generated effects would become feasible in the eyes of Hollywood and the public.This development and the persistent cult fandom surrounding TRON would cause the film to be popularly reevaluated as a bold experiment in computer visual effects. This was the only project in which legendary futurists Syd Mead and MÅ“bius would collaborate (each working on different aspects of the cyberworld), with the addition of Electronic Music pioneer Wendy Carlos for the soundtrack.TRON appeared as a level in Kingdom Hearts II (it was Tetsuya Nomura's admitted first choice for the series, but he couldn't find a way to put it in the first game), and its sequel TRON: Legacy appeared as a level in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] on the Nintendo 3DS.TRON has spawned two (mutually exclusive) sequels:1. The 2003 video game TRON 2.0 (in which Alan and Lora's son Jethro is transported into the cyber-world)and2. The continuity consisting of the film TRON: Legacy and its tie-ins. In publication order: The graphic novel TRON: Betrayal The video game TRON: Evolution The television series TRON: Uprising.Furthermore, in 2015, a new autorunner game called Tron: Run/r hit Steam Early Access. The full version launched in February 2016. At Disney's D23 expo in 2022, the visual novel TRON: Identity was announced, with a release the following May. As of 2023, a third film titled Tron: Ares starring Jared Leto is in development.Useless trivia: a trailer for Tex, Disney's adaptation of the S.E. Hinton novel and the first film to use the Touchstone name in any capacity (this was before Disney formally established it as its brand for mature content), and an EPCOT promo were attached to original 70mm screenings.

Virtual-Reality Warper: As a User, Flynn is essentially this inside the digital realm. It takes him some time to master his powers, but near the end of the film he's able to redirect a conduit of raw power, resurrect YORI from being de-rezzed, and keeps the carrier intact even after Sark tries to delete it.

All There in the Manual
 TRON / int_17ce80aa
comment
All There in the Manual: The novelization, by Brian Daley, gives a lot of details that the movie had trouble with: Alan shares Tron's Boy Scout-like sense of earnest integrity. Dillinger secretly views this with contempt, but it's that sense of honor that gets Alan to side with Flynn almost immediately, once he's learned the truth about Dillinger. When Flynn and Crom meet in the ring game, Flynn is grinning while Crom looks very hostile. The book makes it clear that Flynn thinks it's another training exercise, while Crom thinks Flynn has turned and is willingly serving the MCP. Sark is anxious to get rid of Flynn as quickly as possible. First, he puts Flynn in a match against Crom, hoping that either a program will kill a User, or a User will kill a program; either one would be a huge psychological victory for the MCP. When that backfires spectacularly, Sark decides to run Flynn through game after game with no rest, hoping to tire him out. Again, it backfires when Flynn survives long enough to devise an escape with Ram and Tron. Flynn has gotten to like Bit, and he worries if Bit will be okay after the latter runs away. The reason Yori doesn't seem to recognize Tron at first and starts spouting tech jargon is because the MCP has been draining the energy out of all nearby programs, turning them into weak-willed slaves. It takes a dose of Tron's power to get her to snap back to herself. This is also why nobody takes notice when Flynn crashes his Recognizer; see Unusually Uninteresting Sight below. Sark was present at Clu's interrogation. When he confronts Flynn and Yori, Sark — who never saw Flynn up close — thinks Clu has come back to life. When Sark's Carrier de-rezzes, it is made clear that this is a normal thing, and that the Carrier can be re-rezzed at any time, making it less of an Ass Pull. When the MCP turns Sark into a giant, it is noted that Sark is now little more than a mindless zombie; apparently, programs can suffer massive brain damage just as humans do. The printout Flynn gets at the end is hard evidence of all of the programs Dillinger stole from him. Also, the notice is seen on most of the terminals in the building. Finally, the novel ends with Tron and Yori taking the Solar Sailer for a spin.... and Bit is tagging along.

Dressing as the Enemy: Flynn turns himself red by absorbing the energy from one of Sark's warriors, derezzing him. He uses this disguise to blend in with Sark's other troops and approach the Solar Sailer. It almost fatally backfires on him when he charges more troopers boarding the Sailer, causing Tron and Yori to mistake him for an enemy boarder and almost push him to his death.

Mr. Fanservice: Jeff Bridges as Flynn was quite the beast in his shirtless scene. In an interesting case of What Could Have Been, the filmmakers originally wanted an actor who looked more like a stereotypical nerd, very thin and unremarkable in build, the kind of person people might expect to be a computer programmer, not a big, rugged, manly man like Jeff Bridges.

Stealth Pun Near the beginning of the film, CLU runs his tank into a wall after being attacked by Recognizers. That's right, CLU, the program, crashed. Happens again later, when Flynn crashes a defective Recognizer. All the characters in the Grid (except for Flynn, of course) are computer programs. And they're sometimes running.

Underlighting: Used to make the computer world glow, for the Tron Lines in the original film, since having lights on the costumes was impractical at the time; ironically, this method ended up being so impractical that it was never repeated for another feature film. The writers referred to it as "backlit animation". The sequel drops it in favor of having light strips on the suits, when it was much easier and cheaper to do.

Hollywood Hacking: One of the earliest instances of this trope in film. Arguably, Flynn's methods aren't too unrealistic compared to other examples. Sitting at Lora's terminal, he was getting ready to put the MCP into a logic loop so he could search for his file uninhibited. Had he not been sitting in front of the digitizing laser, he might have succeeded. Furthermore, CLU is an actual hacking program, albeit a custom one.

Electric Torture Inverted. The MCP tortures Sark by "depriving him of cycles". In this case, he RUNS on electricity, so torturing him requires taking his power away. Also played straight, when the MCP captures CLU and threatens him with total de-resolution if he fails to tell the MCP who his User is. Dumont the I/O Tower Guardian is also given this treatment when he was captured by Sark and brought on board his Carrier.

Expose the Villain, Get His Job: At the end of the movie, Flynn has Dillinger's old job as vice-president of Encom. More justified than some instances of the trope, since it probably wasn't just exposing Dillinger that got him the job: the work that got Dillinger the job in the first place was all really Flynn's.

Energy Donation: Master Control keeps Sark's loyalty by feeding him large amounts of power, and threatens him frequently with cutting him off or draining him. Master Control also, in desperation, feeds a huge amount of power to Sark's nonfunctional chassis to make him grow to a massive size. The novelization implies that a dying Ram gave up what little energy he had left to Flynn. Later, Flynn transfers a large pulse of energy to a dying Yori to bring her back.

Name-Tron: According to Lisberger, TRON is a shortening of the word elecTRONic. He didn't learn until years later that there was a BASIC command that was also TRON (a debugging tool, short for "trace on"). note The computer graphics were calculated on a small mainframe, Digital Equipment Corporation model PDP-10. That 36-bit computer has a TRON instruction (Test Right half, set to Ones, skip if any were Nonzero). Trivia: the numeric value for that opcode, in octal, is 666.

Shoddy Knockoff Product: The Korean animated movie Savior of the Earth (bits of which ended up in Space Thunder Kids) copies most of its major beats from TRON. The main plot's about a gaming prodigy being sucked into a digital world with little explanation where he's forced to play video games for his life, where his primary weapon is a frisbe-like throwing disc. The villain's headquarters looks a heck of a lot like the MCP's tower, he uses a transparent ship that looks just like Sark's cruiser, and The Dragon has not only his design but also his method of death (getting his head split in a disc duel with the hero) copied from Sark.

Cyberspace: Trope Codifier. Had at least as much influence on how fiction portrays it as Neuromancer — and TRON was released two years before Neuromancer. However, William Gibson introduced the idea of cyberspace in his short story "Burning Chrome"note The word "cyberspace" only occurs once in that story, as "Cyberspace Seven", the nickname for the Ono-Sendai VII deck. In the rest of the story, cyberspace is ironically always called "the matrix", which was published shortly before TRON was released, although after the film had been made. In fact, it was first published in an issue of Omni magazine that also had an article about the making of TRON.

Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!
 TRON / int_673b2da6
comment
Instant A.I.: Just Add Water!: The MCP started as a chess program, then various people gradually rewrote it to perform sysadmin duties on its own hardware. After this, it continued to gain intelligence by assimilating other programs' code into itself. That still doesn't explain why every other program seems to be an A.I. too, even when they don't need to be. Ram, for example, calculates insurance premiums, and Tron is basically just a firewall. May be a case of Science Marches On. There was a time not too many decades ago when the simple tasks of playing chess or recognizing speech commands was seen as the benchmark of intelligence. We now know actual intelligence consists of much more.

Attack Its Weak Point: Alan (aka Alan-1) instructs Tron to hurl his disc at the critical juncture of the MCP to destroy it. However, until Flynn distracts it, the weak point is shielded from Tron's disc.

Nerd Glasses: Alan Bradley's large and unflattering spectacles. Most of his co-workers too, actually. Apart from marking them as computer nerds, it helps keep them visually distinct from their electronic counterparts. They come across this way now, but were much less so when the film was made. Large-lensed glasses were quite common in the '80s.

The Password Is Always "Swordfish"
 TRON / int_a3509d95
comment
The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Dillinger's password to access the Master Control Program is "Master." Kind of makes sense, since Dillinger got his position by stealing from Flynn, not being knowledgeable on his own - he isn't actually competent enough to know not to use a simple, obvious password like this (further reflected by the fact that he doesn't even change the names on the games he stole from Flynn).

Year Inside, Hour Outside. They kind of got this one right; computer processes are so fast that, subjectively, the perception of time would be vastly different.

The Ace: At the start of the film, Alan places a lot of hope in his Tron program. Once we get to the digital world, we can see why, as Tron is revealed to be the most heroic (and badass) of all the programs who still serve the Users.

Love Triangle
 TRON / int_b7e0c5ff
comment
Love Triangle: Between Alan, Lora (and their program counterparts) and Flynn. Specifically, Flynn is Lora's ex and she's currently going out with Alan, though there's still a certain amount of attachment between them. As the programs resemble the Users who created them, this carries over into the computer world with Tron and Yori. (Some read Threesome Subtext into this- see YMMV.)

Anti-Hero/Loveable Rogue: Flynn, in a very mild sense (the freewheeling personality type of the latter fits). Immature, irreverent, not above using means of questionable legality (cracking computer systems, breaking and entering the ENCOM building) to achieve his goals, and he's trying to right Dillinger's wrong for mostly personal reasons. Yet in doing so, it's heavily implied he saves the world from being effectively taken over by the out-of-control MCP. (This is possibly an Alternate Character Interpretation.)

Good Colors, Evil Colors
 TRON / int_c32201f6
comment
Good Colors, Evil Colors: Blue denotes free programs, red is programs controlled by the system (in this case, the Big Bad MCP). The film was originally going to use gold as the good color and blue as the bad color, but this was changed midway through production. This is why the evil light cycles are blue, Clu is gold and the tanks chasing him are blue. They were created before the switch was made.

Shout-Out
 TRON / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out On a computer monitor in one scene, a tiny Pac-Man can be seen briefly and its sound effects heard. An old, half-abandoned communications program named DuMont, named for a defunct television network that aired some of the first sci-fi programming. The words "Gort, Klaatu Barada Nikto" from The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) are visible on the wall of Alan's cubicle. When telling the story of how Dillinger stole his video games, Flynn begins with, "Sherman, set the Wayback Machine for, 3 years ago...", a quote from Rocky and Bullwinkle. According to the DVD commentary, Alan was named in honor of computing pioneer Alan Kay. Flynn's line "Like the man says, there's no problems, only solutions," when he sits down to hack into the ENCOM system is a quote from "Watching the Wheels" by John Lennon. "Only Solutions" is also the title of one of the two tracks that Journey contributed to the soundtrack. When Flynn attempts to hack into the system, the Master Control Program mockingly begs "Stop. Please. I'm afraid.", which is what HAL 9000 says as he is shut down in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

And You Were There: The programs are all dead ringers for the people who wrote them: CLU for Flynn, Tron for Alan, Yori for Lora, Sark for Dillinger, Dumont for Gibbs... and, down at the level where you'd need freeze-frame to notice, Sark's henchman for Dillinger's PA and Ram for Alan's cubicle neighbor (Flynn Lives in TRON: Legacy gives his name as Roy). The MCP, a product of numerous man-hours by various people, has a geometric abstraction of a face, but when it falls apart at the end, the original core program can be briefly seen, and it has Gibbs's face.

Thank the Maker: The blue programs hold their Users in awe in a manner akin to worship; the red-tinted MCP denies the existence of the Users (publicly, anyway), claiming that nobody has ever seen one, and wants to establish rule over the computer system in which "liberated" programs no longer believe in something so archaic as Users. Thanks to the I/O nodes being turned off by the MCP, programs are reduced to faith. Sark does believe in Users, simply because he and the MCP are the only ones in direct contact with them.

comment
Unbuilt Trope: TRON was cyberspace before cyberspace was invented. In fact, the digital world isn't referred to as "Cyberspace" at all; the creators seem to favor the term "Electronic World".

Evil Brit: David Warner plays the trifecta of the movie's villains: Dillinger, Sark and the MCP. This trope is mentioned by name in the directors' commentary.

20 Minutes into the Future
 TRON / int_f32d85ab
comment
20 Minutes into the Future: Implied. The inspiration is very much that of the contemporary computing and videogame revolution and the visuals heavily invoke such, yet several key technologies (sentient A.I.s, the digitising laser) are more advanced than 1982 could manage. The sequel would appear to subvert this trope, though.

Product Placement: Flynn's computer is an Apple III. The neon signs at Flynn's Arcade are mostly for fictional games, but at least two are for real games — The End and Berzerk.

Never Say "Die"
 TRON / int_f51c5f3c
comment
Never Say "Die": Programs dying or being deleted is referred to as de-resolution, or "getting derezzed" for short. This isn't consistent, however; there's a scene where Yori tells Dumont that TRON is dead.
