Just before the premiere of Tron: Ares in cinemas, Disney is releasing refreshed versions of the first two films in full 4K UHD quality with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. It's a great opportunity to revisit the classics and prepare for the third instalment of the series.
Tron (1982) – digital reconstruction under the supervision of the director
The first "Tron" has been re-scanned and restored to remove dirt, distortions, and other imperfections. The process was overseen by the director himself, Steven Lisberger, ensuring fidelity to the original, but with an image quality that the film has never had before.
Tron: Legacy (2010) – HDR straight from a digital source
“Tron: Legacy” from 2010 has received a new HDR master, prepared from the original digital files, supervised by director Joseph Kosinski. This gives the film's cyberpunk aesthetic a new depth of colour and contrast.
Dolby Vision and Atmos – cinema at home
Both films will be available on UHD Blu-ray (in SteelBook® editions) and digitally on platforms such as Apple TV and Fandango at Home (Vudu) from 16 September 2025. The 4K discs are 66 GB, Blu-ray – 50 GB. Disney promises “breathtaking picture quality and powerful Atmos sound,” which can truly make the home viewing experience resemble a cinema.
Premiere of “Tron: Ares” – coming in October
On 10 October 2025, “Tron: Ares” will debut in cinemas – the third part of the series that will complete the trilogy after many years. Disney has announced that the film will later also be available on home media in 4K Dolby Vision and Atmos, but a specific date has not yet been set.
