Young Adult Film: "TRON" (1982)

Before there could be an AVATAR, the Walt Disney Company created the first computer graphic full-length feature film, TRON. It is about hacker/arcade owner Kevin Flynn who is digitally broken down into a data stream by a villainous software pirate known as the Master Control and reconstituted into the internal, 3-D graphical world of computers. It is there, in the ultimate blazingly colorful, geometrically intense landscapes of cyberspace, that Flynn joins forces with Tron to outmaneuver the Master Control program that holds them captive in the equivalent of a gigantic, infinitely challenging computer game. See the original starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner and David Warner before you see TRON: Legacy. (96 minutes)
