Tron
Journey now into a startling new dimension where energy lives and breathes. A world inside the computer where man has never been. Never before now.
When brilliant video game maker Flynn hacks the mainframe of his ex-employer, he is beamed inside an astonishing digital world and becomes part of the very game he is designing. In his mission through cyberspace, Flynn matches wits with a maniacal Master Control Program and teams up with Tron, a security measure created to bring balance to the digital environment.

An acquired taste.

[Noticed all the other reviews here are posted by folks who have no interest in technology in the first place...] TRON (1982) is an incredibly imaginative concept that was decades ahead of its time. At the time of production these graphics were cutting edge - in a certain way some of the practical effects are still better than modern CG (in my opinion anyway) as they lend to a gritty realism that is often lost in …
