“TRON” (トロン), Original First Release Japanese Movie Poster 1982, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) Q60
This is an original Japanese B2 poster printed in 1982 for the first theatrical release of TRON (トロン), Disney’s groundbreaking science-fiction adventure directed by Steven Lisberger. Starring Jeff Bridges, Bruce Boxleitner, David Warner, Cindy Morgan, and Barnard Hughes, the film remains one of the defining visual landmarks of early digital cinema, admired for its bold fusion of live action, backlit effects, animation, and pioneering computer-generated imagery.
Film background
Released in 1982, TRON tells the story of gifted programmer Kevin Flynn, who is transported inside a computer system and forced to survive a gladiatorial struggle within an electronic world ruled by the Master Control Program. Produced by Walt Disney Productions, the film arrived at a moment when video games, arcades, and computer culture were beginning to reshape popular imagination. Although initially ahead of its time, TRON went on to become a major cult classic and is now recognised as one of the most influential science-fiction films of the 1980s.
Poster design
This is the classic and highly recognisable original Japanese release design. The poster is dominated by the film’s neon-lit digital universe: heroic blue and red-suited figures stand amid geometric perspective lines, glowing circuitry, and weapon-like light effects, while the bold Japanese title anchors the lower portion of the sheet. The composition captures exactly what made TRON so startling in 1982 — its sleek, synthetic vision of a computer world rendered as a futuristic battleground. It is an exceptionally strong country-of-origin design for the film, full of period charm and outstanding wall presence.
