Tron

Tron (1982) is a sci-fi action film by Steven Lisberger you can watch online on iFILM. Software wizard Kevin Flynn, played by Jeff Bridges, breaks into his old company's mainframe to prove a colleague stole his code — and gets digitized straight into the machine.

Inside the system, programs look like people and live under the thumb of a tyrannical Master Control Program. Flynn is thrown onto a lethal game grid: light-cycle races, deadly identity discs, duels that end in total deletion. His ally is Tron, a security program with the face of Bruce Boxleitner, built to restore order to the digital world. David Warner doubles as both the human villain and his electronic enforcer.

This Disney release was one of the first to put computer graphics on the big screen, shaping the look of nearly every virtual-reality story that followed. Glowing circuit suits, neon racing lanes and the synthesizer score by Wendy Carlos turned it into a cult favorite and, decades later, a full franchise.
