TRON (1982)


 

A computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.

From memory: An imaginative and innovative sci-fi tale set as a thrilling sound-and-light show within the innards of a computer; all new and exciting to watch at the time, the plot itself, not so much.

Halliwell*: "Complicated science fantasy chiefly interesting for its computerized blend of live action and animation, which isn't always successful."

Maltin**: "State-of-the-art special effects are stunning, but the story runs out of steam too soon, with only Bridges' charisma to keep it afloat.. Disappointing Disney production."
