Even before the premiere of Tron: Ares in theaters, Disney is releasing refreshed versions of the first two films in full 4K UHD quality with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. This is a great opportunity to revisit the classics and get ready for the third installment 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 supervised by the director himself, Steven Lisberger, which guarantees 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 received a new HDR master, prepared from the original digital files, supervised by director Joseph Kosinski. As a result, the cyberpunk aesthetic of the film takes on a new depth of colors and contrast.
Dolby Vision and Atmos – cinema at home
Both films will be available on UHD Blu-ray (in SteelBook® versions) and digitally on platforms such as Apple TV and Fandango at Home (Vudu) starting September 16, 2025. The 4K discs are 66 GB, Blu-ray – 50 GB. Disney promises "breathtaking picture quality and powerful Atmos sound," which can indeed make the home viewing experience resemble a movie theater.
Premiere of "Tron: Ares" – coming in October
On October 10, 2025, "Tron: Ares" will debut in theaters – the third part of the series that will finally close 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 there is no specific date yet.

This is a mandatory set not only for science fiction and special effects fans but also for anyone who wants to see the evolution of digital cinema – from pioneering experiments in 1982 to the spectacular spectacle in IMAX.
