"TRON: Legacy" is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade-a signal that could only come from his father-he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years.

With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually stunning cyber universe-a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape.

The story is by Edward Kitsis & ADAM HOROWITZ and Brian Klugman & Lee Sternthal, and the screenplay is by Edward Kitsis & ADAM HOROWITZ, based on characters created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird. Presented in Disney Digital 3D^TM, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D and scored by Grammy Award®-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, "TRON: Legacy" hits theaters on December 17, 2010.
