“TRON: Legacy” is a 3D action-packed adventure set in a digital world unlike
anything captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-
old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar® and
Golden Globe® winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world’s leading video-
game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the abandoned
Flynn’s Arcade—that could have only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into
a world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior
Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually
stunning universe—created by Kevin Himself—which has become far more advanced with
never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons and landscapes, and a ruthless villain who will
stop at nothing to prevent their escape.
“TRON: Legacy” is directed by Joseph Kosinski, from a screenplay written by Eddy
Kitsis & Adam Horowitz, based on characters created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie
MacBird. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy Award®–winning
electronic music duo Daft Punk, “TRON: Legacy” hits theaters on December 17, 2010.
