BLACKNESS:
1THE ELECTRONIC WORLD 1
On one side of the screen, computer programming language is being
printed, and we HEAR the sound of an electronic keyboard. In the
center of the screen, glowing lines inscribe a rough computer
simulation of a figure, in response to the programming. Gradually
the figure is completed and refined, as we HEAR a resonant voice
speaking.
VOICE:
As astonishing advances in computer
science are made, artificial intelligence
programs are being designed to assist
us in every area of life...
We see that the completed form is man-like, heroic and muscular,
wearing a form of flexible armor. The face is calm, handsome and
intelligent. As the voice continues, the form becomes rounded by
the computer until it appears three dimensional and begins to rotate.
VOICE (CONT.)
In a world-wide network of electronics,
they travel through miles of circuitry
at the speed of light. We created them to
calculate and research, to help us design
and heal and think. With all that they can
do, are they only electrical impulses...
or are they a new form of life?
The figure is rotated completely around, and as it comes back to face
us, a glowing disk appears beside it; again in response to the
programming printed out at the side of the screen. The disk moves
towards the man-like figure and is rotated into position above it.
As the voice reaches the final word, the disk is slammed into place
on the back of the figure. There is an explosion of colored light,
a resounding crash of MUSIC and the title appears across the top of
the screen in huge letters.
T R O N ! !
The MUSIC CONTINUES as the glow fades and we SEE that the figure has
become real, a living being, although filled with glowing light, as
if it had an inner core of electricity.
The following is a SERIES OF QUICK CUTS in MONTAGE STYLE as the
OPENING TITLES ROLL. The montage takes place in two worlds, the
ELECTRONIC WORLD and the REAL WORLD.
The Electronic World is a mirror of our own, consisting of the
electronic information in our computers, television sets and
telecommunications network. It is peopled by computer programs,
data, and the characters from countless video games. For the first
time, we are seeing their world as it really is, rather than through
the window of television screens.
CUT TO:
2CYCLE GAME 2
TWO OTHER ELECTRONIC FIGURES standing on a glowing grid against a
dark background. Each holds a bar between his fists, and as a BUZZER
SOUNDS, a glowing light cycle is inscribed around them, completely
encasing them.

3LONG SHOT 3
as the cycles take off. We see that each leaves a solidifying laser
trail behind it. One turns abruptly, creating a wall in front of the
other.
CUT TO:
4REAL WORLD 4
Screen of a video game, the Real World version of light cycles,
as we see one of the lines smash into another and disappear.
We see teenagers, strangely lit from below with bluish light,
their hands on electronic controls, levers, knobs. We HEAR
electronic beeping and popping.
6ELECTRONIC WORLD6
Futuristic tanks bearing down on one another in a flat grid-like
landscape. One FIRES, and the other disappears when it is hit, to
reappear, spinning wildly, in the distance. We HEAR a sound
like a crack of lightning.
7REAL WORLD 7
A video game in an arcade. On the screen is a typical version of
Tank Wars with computer generated representations of tanks in a 2-D
maze.
