The film is about a meta-computer program, the Master Control Program (or MCP, voiced by David Warner), a chess program that is reincarnated into one that controls all other programs, and has ambitions to take over the world. When Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), a hacker, gets too close to thwarting its plans, he is "beamed" in the computer as Clu and risks facing destruction by the MCP, along with the security program designed by his friend Alan (Bruce Boxleitner), called Tron. Together Tron and Clu must prevail against the MCP to save the future of humanity.
The story was about a videogame developer (Jeff Bridges) who was sucked into the virtual reality world of computers, where he discovered that the programs there were actually sentient and living under the dictatorship of the Master Control Program. At the time the effects and concept were both cutting edge. Keep in mind that at the time the movie was released, the big games in arcades were Pac-Man and the first version of Donkey Kong!
