Alphaville (1965) & Tron (1982): From Noir to Neon

Alphaville (1965) & Tron (1982) – Artificial Intelligence from Noir to Neon

In this episode of Journey Through Sci-Fi, James and Matt continue their Artificial Intelligence series by exploring two very different visions of AI in science fiction.

First we look at Alphaville (1965), Jean-Luc Godard's strange and stylish sci-fi noir about a city controlled by a powerful computer called Alpha 60.

Then we dive into Tron (1982), Disney's groundbreaking sci-fi adventure that imagined a digital world inside a computer system where programs fight for freedom from the Master Control Program.

Together these films reveal how science fiction began exploring artificial intelligence not just as machines in the real world, but as entire digital environments.

Journey Through Sci-Fi explores the history of science-fiction cinema one subgenre at a time.
