This is something that's always kinda bugged me.
It seems that the general press and others always refers to TRON as being based on or about a video game.
Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EHKHTtZ5M8
And for those of you who cannot view Youtube at the moment because of those meddling internet blocks your company has in place, the video is from a Video Games Live concert, in which the MC says "Originally not from a video game, but originally from a movie about a video game".
Anyone know why TRON is referred to being a movie about a video game, or video games in general? It simply isn't, and I don't understand how someone could misinterpret "hacker gets trapped in computer" as "movie about video games".

sometimes, you've gotta take a step back and remember that the vast majority of people who've seen tron probably only saw it once, and many years ago at that.
what's the most iconic scene in the movie?
the lightcycle sequence.
so when a lot of people think of tron they think of lightcycles and since lightcycle *was* a video game (in the movie), they make the logical leap to "TRON=MOVIE ABOUT VIDEO GAMES".
i can understand it. do I *like* it? do I *agree* with it? no and no. but I do understand it. ^_^ where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

You make a good point, it is a shame because these people have completely missed the point. Probably why it has taken so long for there to be a sequal. They saw it, missed the plot entirely and thought okay that was a okay movie but who wants to watch movies about games?
It is a shame but atleast we know what Tron was all about right?......REALLY COOL LIGHTCYCLES!  I kid of course....it was all about the Tanks baby!

Well technically the movie is about a video game programmer trying to recover the data that his games were stolen from him.
So the movie is really about copyright infringement and the theft of intellectual property.
