Tron

Ignore the jargon, enjoy the film.

If you can get past the jargon and accept that a programmer already knows how a computer works, and therefore doesn't need to the learn the new environment totally. Then we have a quite enjoyable film, most geeks will probably enjoy it anyway.

The writers did do a reasonable job keeping to some computing concepts, such as clock cycles, on/off or yes/no states. Either way we have an interesting film which is shot with interesting lighting, and almost in two dimensions when "inside" the pc.

![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQiJRq1nWDGtW7XqLApnULrXd4BuCC3BKFGuqbwQjogvL/image.png) We have our programmer Kevin that is captured and transported into the internals of a computer. Once inside he finds a world that is being taken over by a rogue program called Master Control. Master control wants perfection and order, and also to get into the real world.

Kevin must find allies and beat the Master Control Program at a series of computer games if he is to ever return to the outside world. Kevin does find a powerful program, Tron, whom he is able to free. After which Tron remembers that he was built to defend other programs, like a security patrol. Together Kevin and Tron may be able to defeat Master Control, but the clock cycles are running (time is ticking).
