Plot: In 1989, seven years after defeating the Master Control Program, Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), the innovative software engineer and the CEO of ENCOM International, disappears. Twenty years later, his son, Sam (Garrett Hedlund), who became ENCOM's controlling shareholder after his father's disappearance, takes little interest in the company besides an annual practical joke on the board of directors. Sam is visited by his father's friend and ENCOM executive Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner), who urges Sam to investigate a mysterious page originating from Flynn's old arcade, which was disconnected for twenty years. While exploring the shuttered arcade, Sam discovers a concealed computer laboratory and unintentionally transports himself to the Grid, a virtual world inside the computer.
Sam is captured and taken to the game arena, where he is pitted against Rinzler, the champion of the games. During their duel, Rinzler notices that Sam is not a Program but rather a User. Rinzler takes Sam before CLU, a digital copy of Kevin Flynn, who rules over the Grid. CLU nearly kills Sam in a Light Cycle match before Quorra (Olivia Wilde) rescues him. Taken to a distant, off-grid hideout in the "Outlands," Sam is reunited with his father. Watch the movie to see what happens next.

I heard a bunch of people talking abput this movie but I have so many other movies on my to-watch list..
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Tron: Legacy!! It was an AWESOME movie!
ReplyDelete-Barriss =)
Best movie I've seen in a very long time. My siblings and I have watched it numerous times already. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that bothers me about the movie is CLU's face. There are some shots where they could have tried much harder and put more detail into it. Other then that, I don't have any true issues with it. Not to mention it's a great movie to write fanfiction for.
@Eldra: It would have been my favorite of the year but Inception was incredible. And I agree CLU's face did not have as munch detail as I would have liked.
ReplyDeleteHaven't seen Inception, but that probably would take top spot. Not entirely sure, though. At least they both have Cillian Murphy in them. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this movie! The light cycle battle was the best! Great review!
