TRON (1982) - Sark's (David Warner) Grid Costume
Sark's (David Warner) grid costume from Steven Lisberger's sci-fi film Tron. Sark was the primary antagonist and was a merciless program which served as overseer of the battles fought on the Game Grid. A groundbreaking film, Tron was the first feature to include entirely computer-animated scenes. Most of the scenes, though, involved human actors in the movie's digital world, and while computer graphics were involved, the scenes were primarily hand-animated using layers upon layers of cels.

Sark's costume includes a spiked headdress; a full body unitard; a chest piece; two arm sleeves; two gauntlets; two pauldrons; a codpiece; a set of chaps; two leg sleeves; and a pair of boots. Sark's headdress is made of creme-coloured leather, with aluminium armour attached via strips of Velcro. Black tape detailing is applied to the helmet to indicate where animators would add the glow effect. The footed unitard is made of spandex, with a full-length zipper at the back, and shows grid lines drawn by hand using black marker. The chest piece is made of leather and spandex, with grid lines achieved using markers on the front and black tape on the back. Sark's sleeves are made of padded spandex, with the grid lines drawn on, while his gauntlets are made of foam, with the grid lines consisting of pasted-on sticker decals. The codpiece is made of leather with hook-and-eye closures at the side, while the chaps are made of leather with nylon straps. The boots are made of leather with a creme boot cover stitched over the upper front, with the rest of the black boot painted creme to match.

Sark's costume shows some wear to the material due to production use and age, with paint chipping to the helmet and boots, and peeling of the grid-line tape and stickers. In spite of this, the costume remains in remarkably good condition for its age.
