This is a tough one... really interested to see how this one plays out.

Would you like to play a game?

If Tic-Tac-Toe was in an arcade cabinet, would you play with a light cycle? (Asking for a friend who disappeared in 1986).

Both movies about being drawn into something much bigger than intended. I vote for the one that did that literally.

Argh..it's such a shame that this isn't the final, as both of these optimise what this bracket is all about! Going to vote for Tron again, as I think it's one of, if not the best computer-based sci-fi filme! IMHO ofc!

I have to go for War Games. Not sure why but it always has been a favorite. Wish these two where competing in the next round and not this one.

War Games for me.

Are you a paleontologist? I need a paleontologist.

Easy choice... War Games. Don't get me wrong TRON was big when I was in school with all the SIGGRAPH computer graphics things going on at the time. If you don't know what it is it's part of the ACM: dl.acm.org/.../siggraph War Games was THE movie that reminded me of myself sitting at the Apple ][+ with my 300 baud modem all night long dialing all over the world...

I want to agree... as a computer scientist and big supporter of IEEE and ACM but War Games encapsulated something that's relevant even today computers and nuclear weapons.
