Japanese B2 (20.5" x 29"); Style B
Very Fine Folded
Buena Vista, 1982

This colorful Japanese B2 puts bright and bravery on display in the form of the defiant character of Tron dead center, showing off the film's impressive visual savvy much more than other poster versions. The stunning folded Japanese B2 offered here features a great portrait of Jeff Bridges in the form of the defiant character of Tron, complete with the glowing, backlit outline effect that makes the characters so instantly recognizable.

It is a very clean and overall presentable poster image with only general light scattered crimping, plus edge wear to the right side backed by some archival tape.

When Steven Lisberger first saw the video game Pong, he was inspired to write a story that took place entirely within the software world of a mainframe computer. This story would eventually become the movie Tron (1982). One of the first films to use computer animation and graphics extensively, Tron quickly became a landmark in filmmaking technology. Starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, and David Warner, the film received mixed-to-positive reviews on its initial release but has become a cult classic in the years since, spawning a sequel (Tron: Legacy) and a TV series (Tron: Uprising).
