US Dept. of Homeland Security Classifies TRON as "Sensitive"

Quote:

BURBANK, CA - Reports are emerging from members of the movie industry that the Department of Homeland Security has designated the 1982 film TRON as "sensitive", and ordered Walt Disney Studios to turn over all copies of the film in its posession. Retailers are also receiving notices to remove all copies of the film from stock shelves and turn them over to Federal officials. The reports have industry insiders bewildered and outraged.

The censorship part of the plan is gonna start slowly.

Nice to see those tax dollars at work.

First they came for the Mooninites ... Then they came for Tron ...

wtf is in tron that makes it so sensitive?

official concern reportedly centers around a portion of the movie's live-action sequence which was filmed at Shiva, a nuclear fusion research facility created at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Constructed in 1977 for research into generating fusion energy, Shiva used a battery of enormous lasers to smash tiny pellets of deuterium and tritium. It was hoped the resulting compression and shockwave would illustrate how to trigger fusion in the materials.

The facility was dismantled in 1981 after experiments were completed and its successor, Shiva/Nova, was built. However, as a government funded nuclear research program, it is subject to comprehensive national security guidelines, and it is this point that seems to have gotten the film into trouble.

"They said the [Shiva] scenes contained sensitive nuclear information," said a Disney employee tasked with locating copies of the film in the studio's archives. "I mean, the film's been out for 25 years. All of a sudden, there's something wrong with it? It's silly."

A little early for April Fools isn't it?

I read it on the internets, it must be true...

I'll never fuckin give up my copy of Tron!!!

Think they have seen War Games?

Probably some dept of homeland security asshole who was pissed off Tron bumped his soap operas on primetime or something :P

Gotta be satire. There's no way you could recall all physical copies of a movie - including consumer VHS and DVDs - that has been out for 25 years. :1orglaugh

loved that movie! I wonder when they'll do a remake of it. Imagine Tron with todays technology and special effects.....be interesting.
