I’m re-watching the original “Tron” probably for the first time since it came out in 1982. So much rotoscoping.
The “bad guy” in the film is a big piece of software that can talk. It is going across networks and vacuuming up every bit of code and data in the world, making itself (it claims) more intelligent, and resulting in all the programmers getting fired.
That seemed kinda silly at the time.
