![]() They along with others seek to destroy the MCP and get rid of Dillinger. ![]() Flynn is helped out by Tron a legendary warrior in this computer world and he also looks like Flynn's friend Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner). Flynn breaks into the Master Control Program (MCP) which has gained its own AI and become a super computer and takes Flynn inside a computer world in order to delete him. Bridges is Kevin Flynn a programmer who has been cheated by a rival Dillinger (David Warner) who has taken credit for his work such as best selling arcade games and taken control of the Hi Tech company Encom. The story is simple although it has to be noted Jeff Bridges is not Tron. 1982 was the year that home computing was taking off in the UK with the BBC computer, Sinclair Spectrum, Commodore 64 entering households in greater numbers and TRON was riding on that wave, even its film score was acclaimed. ![]() The light cycle sequence certainly helped. The film underperformed on its release and did better as a crossover arcade game. There have been films with CGI before but it was TRON that showed John Lasseter what was possible yet the film makes cunning use of CGI, there is less of it than people think. If there was no TRON then there might be no Pixar or no Toy Story.
