Picture Trivia

          The American science fiction film Tron (1982), written and directed by Steven Lisberger, is about a computer programmer that was sucked into the world of software in the mainframe computer, and his adventure and interaction with different computer programs to be able to return to his reality world. The film had a “reboot” 28 years later – Tron: Legacy (2010) – which was also directed by Lisberger. Only the two lead male actors, Jeff Bridges (as Keven Flynn a.k.a. Clu) and Bruce Boxleitner (as Alan Bradley a.k.a. Tron) were included in both films.
