7:00 pmto10:00 pm

“Tron”,¬†Made by Disney in 1982,¬† stars Bruce Boxleitner and Jeff Bridges and follows the story of a guy who enters into a computer program to….well, nevermind. No one’s ever watched Tron for the plot. It’s the look of Tron that really kicks ass.

Shot monochromatically in the computer world this movie is a marvel to look at. Plus everyone’s got their own Tron story….where they saw it, the time they dressed up as Tron for halloween, etc. And if you’ve never seen Tron, you’re gonna be friggin amazed. The lightcycle races alone are worth the prize of admission.

Speaking of which….as always, this is a fund raiser for The Bike Oven. Four bucks gets you in. Tron dogs, beverage and a special Tron cocktail, created by Pruitt just for the occasion are also available for next to nothing. Come in a glowy Tron costume and we’ll all laugh at you but be secretly envious!
