Join us at The Castro Theatre for a 40th Anniversary of Walt Disney’s game-changing masterpiece TRON (1982). (Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be unable to screen TRON (1982) in the intended 70mm format.) However, we were able to secure a 2.39 widescreen DCP w/ 5.1 surround sound for the evening’s screening AND we will also be presenting a very special 35mm reel of rare video game trailers & commercials.
Also included with admission is a stunning pack of limited-edition handmade 3D screen prints designed by Sofía Caldes, a couple of amazing raffle prizes and a musical performance by Harry Garland on the Castro Theatre organ.

40th Anniversary of TRON (1982) (PG) – Screening in Disney’s archival 70mm
You think you’re obsessed with playing video games? Transport yourself into this pulsating neon computer world that looks even more amazing now than it did upon its release in 1982!
When talented computer engineer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) finds out that Ed Dillinger (David Warner), an executive at his company, has been stealing his work, he tries to hack into the system. However, Flynn is transported into the digital world, where he has to face off against Dillinger’s computerized likeness, Sark, and the imposing Master Control Program. Aided by Tron (Bruce Boxleitner) and Yori (Cindy Morgan), Flynn becomes a freedom fighter for the oppressed programs of the grid.
