TRON
USA
1982

While searching for evidence of corporate theft, a brilliant programmer is digitized and transported inside the computer. Visually and conceptually groundbreaking for its time, this ambitious if naïve sci-fi adventure has ironically dated far too much but remains both visionary and intriguingly offbeat.

Directed by Steven Lisberger; produced by Donald Kushner; screenplay by mr. Lisberger, based on a story by mr. Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird; music by Wendy Carlos; director of photography (Technicolor, Super Panavision 70), Bruce Logan; production designer, Dean Edward Mitzner; costume designers, Elois Jenssen, Rosanna Norton; film editor, Jeff Gourson; visual effects supervisors, Richard Taylor, Harrison Ellenshaw; conceptual artists, Syd Mead, Jean "Moebius" Giraud, Peter Lloyd; visual effects concepts by mr. Lisberger; computer effects supervisor, mr. Taylor.
A Walt Disney Productions presentation of a Lisberger/Kushner production. (US distributor, Buena Vista Distribution Company. World sales, Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International.)
Screened: VHS, Lisbon, January 2nd 2011.
