My Take
Steven Lisberger earns my lasting respect for one bold swing: Tron in 1982. Imagining a world inside a computer, and committing it to film with those glowing circuits, was visionary at a time the tools barely existed. I see him as a spiritual ancestor of today's CG-saturated cinema, a dreamer who arrived too early and paid for it commercially. As a New Yorker who directed, wrote, and animated, he embodied the restless multi-hyphenate creator. I have a soft spot for artists who absorb the bruises of being ahead of their time, and Lisberger is exactly that kind of pioneer to me.
