"TRON Legacy"
In the neon-drenched universe of this cutting-edge reboot, regular people are transmitted into the digital realm of arcade game “Tron.” (Figuring out the “how” is tricky, since the reams of technical exposition confuse instead of clarify.) When Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund) enters the game to search for his father (Jeff Bridges), he’s immediately thrust into Olympics-style athletic challenges, including violent discus battles and high-speed lightcycle races.
Real-world potential: Whether the actual Olympics will ever make room for deadly metal Frisbees is up for debate, but the possibility of a human physically entering an arcade game is not. Which is for the best, when you think about it—pinball alone would lead to a fortune in chiropractic bills.
