It is unusual Steven Lisberger's Cyber ​​Triller in 1982 It should become such a long-term franchise, given how deeply rooted in the 1980s understanding of computers. The film tried to bank for the growing popularity of the video games in the United States, unaware that the industry had to experience a long bust (there is a reason Nintendo called their home -made "entertainment system" console instead of something with the phrase "video game" in it). Indeed, the first "throne" was not as big as Disney hoped. He earned about $ 50 million with a $ 17 million budget and earned $ 70 million in Arcade cabinets and other products, but that was not a "war on the Starwalks" the size of mega-hit Disney. The fact that Disney once wanted to return to "throne" is a miracle.

With the release of "Tron: Ares", there will be three theater films "Thron" in 1982. There was also a TV series, a short film, and 20 video games to show the "throne" characters (20 includes games like "Kingdom of Hearts", as well as games such as "Disks of" Disk Disks "at At least one of the games is performed as a direct sequel to" Tron ". As such, the so -called official medium "Throne" includes the following:

• "Throne" (1982) (feature film)
• "Tron 2.0" (2003) (Video Game)
• "Tron: Heritage" (2010) (Game Film)
• "Tron: The next day" (2011) (short film)
• "Tron: Uprising" (2012-2103) (TV series)
• "Tron: Ares (2025)

Go in detail how they all fit together below.

Throne had what could be considered as a novel concept at the time. A computer programmer named Kevin Flynn (Effef Bridges) is trying to break his old place of employment, Encom, only to discover that much of his operations have been undertaken by a master control program with, he feels, awareness of his own. "Throne" also takes place in the electrical dimension of the computer, with programs provided as human -shaped figures in dazzling, computerized clothing. Computers were so mysterious and inexpressible for the general public in 1982 that Disney thought they needed anthropomorphization to understand. The control masters program manages to strengthen Kevin with an energy laser that can reduce physical objects in information, effectively sucking it in the computer world. For human -shaped programs, video games are like gladiatorial matches to death.

Programs oversee their human users, although programs see their users as personal, individualized gods. The titular throne is a program played by Bruce Boklitner, which aims to put an end to the tampooed tyranny of the Master's Control and Sikophant Program (represented by the "wicked Sark", played by David Warner). Warner and Boklitner are also playing human colleagues in their programs. Kondi Morgan is also played by Dr. Laura Baines, as well as her program, Hori.

Visually, "throne" is uniqueEven if it was chaos. All scenes in the computer were recorded with several layers of composing, which means they were harder to make than they looked. Tron also includes many early effects of CGI, which today look rudimentary but are still visually effective.

In 2003, Disney discovered that Tron had developed something cult, among adults who considered it children. Know that "Throne" was ubiquitous in 1982, with Disney tying in more arcade games with the film. Most video Arkadi had "throne drives", and some owners of the Intellivision Games Console can have "throne: deadly discs", "Tron: Labyrinth-a-Tron", "or" Tron: Sunny Sailor "," All published in 1982.

By 2003, the world was ready for a proper sequel "Tron", called "Tron 2.0". The new game, released on Xbox, Game Boy Advance and computers, was followed by a new character named Ethetro "Etet" Bradley, son of Alan, the image of Bruce Boklitner from the film. When Alan is abducted, a sensitive computer program named MA3A (pronounced "Maya") digitizes Jet and sucks in the computer world to help. Etet reveals that computer information is corrupted (in the form of a totalitarian government) and it seeks the help of various "underground" programs to help. The computerized villain is a security core of the computer, and the villain in the real world is a funny CEO named Thorn. In the world of Tron 2.0, people regularly visit the computerized main framework, although it is still greatly a secret from the general public. Boxleitner plays Alan, and Cindy Morgan returns to play MA3A.

"Tron 2.0", as well as the original 21 -year -old film, was warm, not a huge hit. Maybe Disney overestimated the franchise's popularity, or maybe they just had to try a different medium.

The true canonical value of Tron 2.0 was deleted seven years later with the publication On "Tron: Heritage" in 2010. The new film was set 27 years after the original and surrounded the adventures to Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund)The adult son of Effe Bridges, Kevin Flynn, from the first "throne". Kevin seems to have kept the original computer head since 1982 on a server in his office, just to be drawn into it in 1989. In the present, Sam is also digitized and enters the computer to locate his father. Also active in the computer world is an animated figure named CLU (bridges) that rules the iron fist and aims to take over the computerized world.

The visuals of the computer world are given a significant upgrade, with a fatty, modern CGI in the 2010 era. Gladiator video games are now far more sophisticated, and the film, as a whole, is given a better sense of "cool" than director Josephosef Kosinski. The computer world also has a caste system, and even nightclubs where wrong programs go (though what they drink, I couldn't say). The music was provided by Daft Punk, giving "Tron: Heritage" one of the most striking records in the soundtrack of its year. The film ended with Sam pulling a hostile program, Quora (Olivia Wilde) in the real world.

Tron: Legacy was a bigger hit than Tron, making nearly $ 410 million on a $ 170 million big budget.

"Legacy" followed Kurt Methila's short film "Tron: The Next Day", which was included as a special feature of "Heritage" editions at home. The shorts force the characters to face the consequences of "Heritage", but it is also a prophecy that fills the gaps between the 1982 film and the 2010 film. Boxlietner and Hedlund's boxwood, as well as Dan Shor, who appeared in the first throne. The short lasts 10 minutes.

"Tron: Legacy" was enough to inspire an animated foretelling series called "Tron: Uprising" in 2012. The series is set shortly before the events of "Tron: Heritage", when Club was still ruled over the computer world. The main character is a program named Beck (Elijah Wood) that is secretly trained by a throne (boxlitner) to combat club tyranny. Club (Fred Tatascaore) is not a major player in the series, presented instead of the harsh computerized general Tesler (Lance Henriksen). Emanuel Cricki plays one of Tesler's aides, while Paul Rubens plays a Submand. Meanwhile, Beck joins his revolutionary efforts by Mara (Mandy Moore) and Zedd (Nate Cordri).

Like all media "throne" in front of him, "Tron: Uprising" was quite warmly received without being a huge hit. It lasted only 19 episodes during its unique season, running from May 2012 to January 2013. Paul Sheer, Kate Mara, Aaron Paul, Parminder Award, Lake Bell, Marcia Gay Harden, Lance Redik and David Arquette had guest roles or repetitive roles, and Olivia Wilde returned from "inheritance".

Because of this year it is "Tron: Ares" and will begin with the tantalizing concept presented at the end of "Heritage". Ares will play Ares, a security program that is drawn from a computer in the real world. However, all hell breaks are lost, when vehicles and other digital elements of the computer world enter ours and begin to do damage. In the world It is wearing heads with digital actresses And the AI ​​accident, "Tron: Ares" can prove to be visible and relevant.
