The Original TRON was filmed in 1982 when the first computer graphics were possible. Fantastic Special Effects and an Interesting PLOT! Partially filmed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory at the Shiva Nuclear Fusion experiment. The Computer That Sucks Jeff Bridges in is at the LAB... He is sitting at a Terminal and His Body Gets Scanned...

The Son goes inside the machine to rescue his father... And Then "The Girl" (Olivia Wilde) asks a Cosmic Question... "What Does The Sun Look Like?" - Think about that for a Moment...

Because the Words "LOOKS LIKE" refers to describing something you have seen... Wow, COSMIC

I especially like visiting the Redwood Forests of Northern California. The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.
The Ewok Villages and the Forest Moon of Endor. The flying motorcycle scenes were filmed by having the Stedicam Inventor, Garrett Brown walk thru the woods following the path they travel... and then Industrial Light and Magic bluescreened in the Actors and Flying Motorcycles...
On Highway 101 traveling North from Eureka, just past Trinidad, there is a rest stop with a paved footpath that looks just like the movie... A little imagination and you can hear the little teddy bear people singing and playing the drums...

Here is a link to many photographs I took... of that Beautiful Forest.
