JARED LETO PLAYS A COMPUTER PROGRAM BROUGHT TO LIFE IN THE LATEST CHAPTER OF THE LONG-RUNNING TRON SAGA
-
AI anxieties are made flesh in the sequel to the 2010 film Tron: Legacy, which welcomes a new director to the franchise, Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Ronning.
The two previous instalments, dating back to 1982's original, transmitted flesh and blood protagonists into the Grid to defeat digital armies with expertly tossed identity discs.
Tron: Ares reverses the flow of data and welcomes weaponised denizens of the digital domain into our 21st-century reality for a vicious power struggle over lines of code.
Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters), grandson of ENCOM's Machiavellian former president Ed Dillinger, writes code dubbed Ares (Jared Leto) in his capacity as CEO of ENCOM's sworn rival, Dillinger Systems.
