Today, 30 years ago, Kevin Flynn entered "The Grid".
"The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see. And then, one day... I got in."
“Oh man, this isn't happening. It only thinks
it's happening.”
"Tron", directed by Steven Lisberger and produced by Donald Kushner, was released on July 9th 1982. Running at 91 minutes, it made on a budget of $17 million, and made $33 million at the box office.
“Hey,
hey, hey, it’s the big master control program everyone’s been talking about…”
It starred Jeff Bridges as "Kevin Flynn" and "CLU" (Codified Likeness Utility), Bruce Boxleitner as "Alan Bradley" and "TRON", David Warner as "Ed Dillinger", "SARK", and the voice of the "Master Control Program", Cindy Morgan as "Lora Baines" and "Yori", Barnard Hughes as "Dr. Walter Gibbs" and "DUMONT", Dan Shor as "RAM" and "the guy who asks Alan for popcorn", Peter Jurasik as "CROM", and Tony Stephano as "Peter".
The film included score composed by Wendy Carlos, and songs by "Journey".
“On the other side of the screen, it all looks so
easy.”
The film's sequel, "Tron Legacy" was released in 2010, and a TV show based on the world of Tron, "Tron Uprising" first aired in June 2012.
