We have fond memories of Tron ‘because’ it was so different. And it holds up very well. The visuals were groundbreaking and the story had a massive conceptual impact on the way computers developed. The soundtrack by Wendy Carlos is a historical achievement in the world of synth music.

No, it’s not “Gone with the Wind” but as a sci fi flickit’s among the greats. A classic in every sense of the word.

"Tron" got me into computers. "Wargames" turned me into a computer geek.

......and 30 years later, here I am, still one.
