Tron Legacy, sequel of '80s sci-fi movie Tron, held a panel discussion and revealed the new lightcycle in Comic con. The actual lightcycle was hidden in a secret room, Flynn's Arcade, only to be discovered when fans walked in.

Tron was a sci-fi movie released in 1982. A hacker is abducted into the surrealist computer world forced to participate in gladiatorial games.

Tron Legacy is produced by Steven Lisberger, the original director and writer of the original Tron movie. Jeff Bridges is also in the movie, playing the same role as Kevin Flynn.

One of the most anticipated films of 2011 is "Tron Legacy," the sequel to the 1982 sci-fi movie "Tron." Disney didn't disappoint fans during their 3-D panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday.

Filmmakers and members of the cast, including Jeff Bridges reprising his role as Kevin Flynn, introduced footage revealing that the story revolves around Kevin's son Sam.

"I go on search for my father and find myself in this crazy world," said actor Garrett Hedlund, who plays Sam Flynn.

What he finds is that the world of Tron has been sitting on a server and in that time has evolved on its own. "It's become darker and more realistic, feeling more like a photo surreal environment," director Joe Kosinski said.
