What's left behind the scenes

The creation of 'Tron' involved the renowned French artist Jean Giraud (Moebius) and Syd Mead, famous for his work on 'Blade Runner'.
The computer special effects were created on a PDP-10 (Programmed Data Processor, model 10) machine with a total memory of 1152 kilobytes.
The programmers who worked on the film "Tron" later also created video games based on it.
The terminals of some older computers had a Trace On (TRON) button for step-by-step tracking of program execution (and, accordingly, TROFF). However, the director claims that the name of the program "Tron" came from an abbreviation of the word "Electronic".
In one of the episodes, you can also notice the game "Pac-Man" on the display of one of the terminals.
This feature film demonstrated computer animation of a face for the first time in the history of cinema, although it was largely simplified.
The film became a milestone in the development of CGI in cinema, paving the way for the creation of fully computer-modeled films. According to John Lasseter, the creator of the first such film, "Toy Story", "without 'Tron' there would be no 'Toy Story'."
The film was removed from the list of Oscar nominees in the "Best Visual Effects" category because, at the time, the Academy considered the use of computers to be cheating.
When one of the characters arrives at his workplace at ENCOM, the inscription “Gort Klaatu Barada Nikto” is visible. This is a reference to the science fiction film "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (1951).
As the programs fly to destroy the "Master Control Program", a Mickey Mouse head-shaped location can be noticed under their ship.
