Fun Facts: The crowd voices during the disk battle in the beginning of the movie are actually the voices of the audience during the presentation of TRON at Comic-Con.

 

In addition to the soundtrack, Daft Punk are spinning the tunes at the End of Line Club with their trademark helmets.

 

When Flynn’s workstation is first shown, the system uptime (or screen saver runtime) is 20 years, 11 months, 20 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes, 16 seconds (and two other digits that update 15 times per second).

 

The suits the actors had to wear were extremely hot, and when the cameras were not rolling the cast would sit underneath giant yellow air conditioning tubes to cool off.

 

Disney decided not to do a 3rd Tron film. But, in 2017, Disney announced that the Tron film franchise was to be rebooted and Jared Leto was rumored to star.

 

Summary: Kevin Flynn’s son, Sam, gets a signal from his long lost father but then gets sucked into his father’s gaming world and had finally reunited with him.

 

The Review: Insert the coin to begin the sequel. The whole grid has been advanced and more tron-ish but the story is pretty glitchy. On the other hand, the film scores high for its effects. Daft Punk for the score? That is perfect! There could be more tron games. Your eyes will be awed.
