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.
