TRON (1982)
In Walt Disney Production's visually-astonishing,
state of the art (at its time) landmark film with Wendy Carlos' unique
score, the first true CGI-animated film:
- computer programmer/hacker Kevin Flynn/Clu (Jeff
Bridges) literally transported ('digitalized'), by malevolent Master
Control Program or "MCP" (voice of David Warner), into
the grid-lined, neon-glowing, 3-D pixelized world inside an evil
corporation's mainframe ENCOM computer where programs lived and
worked
- such astounding scenes as the breathtaking, gladiatorial
competitive race in the arena - the light cycle sequence between
curved racing pods
- the startling, brain-spewing death of evil overlord
Sark (David Warner) killed by gladiator/hero Tron (Bruce Boxleitner)
in a duel
- the dramatic kiss between Flynn and feminine computer
programmer Yori (Cindy Morgan) before Flynn sacrificed himself by
jumping into the MCP beam
- the final liberation of the system (causing landscapes
to burst out in full luminous intensity and color)
