Feast your eyes on the glorious neon wonder that is Tron!

When genius computer programmer Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges) loses his job after sneaky boss Edward Dillinger (David Warner, evil as usual) passes his work off as his own, Flynn attempts to hack into the system. But Master Control Program halts his efforts by breaking him down into data and trapping him within the game. He seeks out Tron (Bruce Boxleitner), a heroic security program that he knows can put a stop to MCP.

Some might call the special effects dated, but that would be missing the point - the visuals are unparalleled and the world created is staggering.

Screening as part of Q-Con XXV: three days of gaming and anime at Queen’s University Belfast Students’ Union, 22-24 June 2018.

Q-Con attendees will receive a promo code that will enable them to book cinema tickets for just £4. Visit q-con.org.uk for details of how to register.
