Action Hero MoviesTron is a very early computer game themed AI movie. This has to be one of the earliest hacking themed movies too. It tells to story of AI trying to take over the world, from inside a video game system. The visuals are laughable by modern standards. For something so graphically dated, the acting is fair and the plot is thin, but it’s quite distinctive and holds attention enough to warrant a Watchable rating. It was probably quite high budget in its day — the cinematography and special effects resemble what may be found in an early Bond movie from the same kind of era.
Sequels
If you enjoyed this early niche cult gaming movie, check out its sequels made decades later: Tron: Legacy (2010) and Tron: Ares (2025), which I rated Average and slightly Below Average respectively — both several levels up from the original, mainly thanks to modern cinematography but also staying true to the original concept and investing fairly in cast, story, props, etc.
