Back in 1982, I sat transfixed as the epic that *was* TRON was delivered to me on the movie screen. I was 9 years old - exactly the age that Emmy is now. Yesterday afternoon, the whole family tromped on down to the dollar theater and I got to experience that rare moment when you get to show your child a piece of YOUR OWN childhood...and as it usually happens, you stand dumbfounded as they show a complete LACK of appreciation for the fact that the 1980's were pretty retro-futuristic cool.
Tron: Legacy is the story of what happened at the end of and in the in-between times from 1982 to now. We meet Flynn's son Sam - and Sam has a pretty big chip on his shoulder. He might be the largest stockholder in a globally held computer company preparing to release the latest version of their biggest program.
When Sam gets the word that a mysterious page has been sent to his dad's old partner from his dad's old hang Arcade hang out, he heads over there to investigate. He finds a secret room underneath a TRON video game and sits in his father's old office chair. He logs into the computer system - still pending with information and commands given years earlier. Suddenly, he's whisked into a world where copies of his father exist - and his real father is still waiting for the implosion of the computerized world he created. Can he rebuild a relationship? Escape from the programs chasing him? Get back to life as it was before?
