Many of the scenes in TRON were filmed at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory.  While I haven't yet seen the movie yet, I know some things
about the filming since I live in Livermore and even used to work at the
lab.  At last count, LLNL has about 6 or so Crays and probably as many CDC
7600's (some of which serve as front ends for the Crays).

>From what I have heard, TRON was filmed around the lab in areas including
the Shiva Laser Complex, some Magenetic Fusion labs and (I think) one
of the computer centers (probably the MFE center).
