Tron: Ares follows a race between tech giants ENCOM and Dillinger Systems to turn the programs into digital reality by solving a 29-minute decay problem using Kevin Flynn’s sustainability code.
Dillinger deploys Ares, a super-soldier AI, to steal the code. However, Ares develops self-awareness, begins to question his purpose, and eventually sides with humanity after ENCOM successfully displays a stable digital orange tree. This begins a conflict over Ares’ freedom and the code’s ability to create life versus its use as a weapon.
