A Look Back at ‘Tron’s’ Cinematic Journey
‘Tron’ first captivated audiences in 1982 with Jeff Bridges playing Kevin Flynn, a video game creator who finds himself transported into a digital world. The movie broke new ground in filmmaking by being one of the first to extensively use computer animation for its special effects. Interestingly, this innovative use of technology led to its disqualification from the Academy Awards, as it was considered “cheating” at the time.
