Tron is a film released in 1982 by Walt Disney Pictures about the story of Kevin Flynn, a man who is "digitized" into his computer system and must find a way out. A sequel was released in 2010 called Tron: Legacy. Tron was not a very popular film at first, but as time progressed it became more popular and is now referenced in many other forms of media, including Futurama.

References to Tron in Futurama

  • In "A Bicyclops Built for Two", the crew going into cyberspace may be a reference to Tron.
  • In "Love and Rocket", when Bender uploads his software into The Planet Express Ship is a reference to Tron. Also, when the The Planet Express Ship says "I'm afraid I can't do that, Leela." may be a reference to The Master Control Program, who said the same words before beaming Flynn into cyberspace. However, this may be a coincidence.
  • In "Law and Oracle", Fry and URL chase Erwin Schrödinger into Circuit City where a Tron-like chase ensues. This is a reference to the Light Cycle battles that were shown in Tron.
  • In "A Farewell to Arms", Leela says "If only I could get back all that time I spent watching Tron: Legacy." Fry then replies "Leela, I've made up my mind. Before we die, I'm going to find and destroy every remaining copy of Tron: Legacy."
