Flynn decides to hack the office computer with the help of his ex-girlfriend and her new boyfriend, but gets sucked into a game.

Tron is all about a man called Flynn who has his ideas for computer games stolen by a rival who then installs them on a master computer running a large business. The master computer gets too powerful and soon intends to run the world without humans. Users working on a project run a program called Tron to distract the Master Computer in order to try and shut it down and prove Flynn was the actual creator of the computer games. Soon the evil Master Computer zaps Flynn inside the computer system and he has to defeat the Master Control Programme to get out, by playing games. He survives by escaping the games and by draining energy from components in the computer, and that also makes him stronger. I really like this film but it is very hard to understand what is going on. The story line is very weird but it is action packed.

Fascinating facts

The videogame earned the production company more money than the film.
