The good folks over at Disney have let us have a look at the US poster for Tron Legacy, an accompanying still and official synopsis. For many of a certain age the original Tron is a much loved classic and news of a sequel held a great sense of anticipation. It looks, too, like the filmmakers are sticking to the groundbreaking visuals of the first and it will be presented in 3-D and IMAX, too.

The synopsis runs:

“Sam Flynn (Garret Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27 year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.”

USA Release date: 17th December, 2010
