The TRON: Legacy Legacy:

  • Directed by Joseph Kosinski in his feature directorial debut, TRON: Legacy was originally released back in 2010. The film was the first sequel to the original TRON, released in 1982.
  • The film is known for its stunning visual effects, electronic soundtrack by Daft Punk, and its digital aesthetic that pays homage to the original while updating it for a modern audience.
  • It’s that same idea and length of time that sets the film in the modern day (when it was released) where Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), follows mysterious clues to find his missing father that leads him back to his arcade/office where he himself is now beamed into the digital world of The Grid.
  • There, he discovers his father and his discoveries of a mysterious new set of digital beings that aren’t quite programs nor are they users - all while trying to stop CLU (a program made in his father’s likeness) who now runs The Grid and is trying to use the open portal to get into the real world.
  • The film was a hit among fans of the franchise, who only wanted more from this universe. Several video games and an animated series followed, with the next film coming next month, TRON: Ares.
