One of the earliest feature films to reflect the video-game craze of the 1980s,
Disney's
Tron stars
Jeff Bridges as computer programmer
Kevin Flynn, who becomes part of the very game that he's programming.
Flynn's principal antagonist is his glory-grabbing boss,
Ed Dillinger (
David Warner), who likewise metamorphoses into a video-game character. The title character, a computer-generated superhero, is played by
Bruce Boxleitner. Though antiquated by 1990s standards,
Tron represented the last word in special effects back in 1982. Surprisingly, despite its long-range influence on the movie industry, the film was a box-office disappointment when first released.
