Tron Legacy: Official poster, screenshot and movie synopsis released

Its not often that we offer up a post about a movie here on Gadgetell, but I think that in the case of Tron Legacy we can make an exception. After all, this is a geeks movie and the release date, while still some time away is getting closer. OK, so in all fairness, the movie is not slated for release until December 17 — of 2010, but that should not be any reason for us to not get excited now.

And with that, we have the official synopsis as well as the movie poster and a screen shot.

TRON: LEGACY is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT 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.
