Sam (Garrett Hedlund), the son of famous video-game developer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), has been haunted for a long time by his father's mysterious disappearance. A strange signal draws Sam to Flynn's Arcade, and he is pulled into the same cyberworld in which his father, its creator, has been trapped for 20 years. With fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), Kevin and Sam seek to escape from a universe that, while magnificent, is far more advanced and dangerous than Kevin had ever imagined.

Critics Consensus

Tron Legacy boasts dazzling visuals, but its human characters and story get lost amidst its state-of-the-art production design.

There's an undeniable appeal at its core - in its sincere approach to ridiculous concepts, in its resistance toward quipping at its own expense.

Reel Talk Online

Tron: Legacy is a fun popcorn flick if you had the opportunity to catch it on the big screen, but with the digital effects downsized on a DVD format what's good about the movie doesn't emit as much of an effect.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Everything you could dream of from the original is bigger, brighter, and better. Never before have video games, or even science-fiction itself, looked as good or as sharply designed as this.

Rated: 4/5

Deep Focus Review

Almost three decades in the making, TRON: Legacy arrives and forces viewers to wonder why it took so long to render such an unremarkable film.

Rated: 2.5/4

Tron: Legacy, and it remains, even more than a decade after its release, one of the most audacious big-budget debuts in recent memory.

La película Tron: Legacy es una buena secuela, con efectos visuales muy superiores a los de la original de 1982.

Everyone says this and it's true! The visuals are stunning for its time and is much better than most modern day stuff we see. Great story and sequel.

Beautiful visuals and soundtrack, ok acting, confusing storyline, a bit long winded and Jeff Bridges video game character young face was comical. Had to watch as just went on the Tron ride at Disney, but definitely not a great movie.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Visually stunning, 5 stars. But the characters and writing are very "made for TV", there's nothing wrong with that per-se but the Tron saga should really be more cinematic, big budget story-telling. They had nearly thirty years (and Disney backing) to get this right. Hopefully Ares will save the trilogy.
