Walt Disneys TRON, one of the first films from a major studio to use computer graphics extensively, premiered on July 9, 1982. A computer programmer is transported inside the software world of a mainframe computer, where he interacts with various programs in his attempt to get back out. The film stars Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn (and his counterpart inside the electronic world, Clu), Bruce Boxleitner as Alan Bradley (and Tron), Cindy Morgan as Lora Baines (and Yori) and Dan Shor as Ram. Despite earning $33 million in North America on its original release, the films poor box office performance will earn Ron Miller, then Disney CEO and Walts son-in-law, the unaffectionate nickname of Tron Miller. More than 20 years later a successful sequel, TRON: Legacy, will be produced. Back in 2010, I wrote this piece about Ron Millers own TRON: Legacy for Jim Hill Media. Hope you enjoy it.
