TRON: Ares

The grid.

A digital frontier.

A world beyond the screen.

As real as our own.

I can picture it.

Clusters of information.

Rising like cities.

Programs as complex as you admit.

In just a few years, we're going to be able to enter this world.

And a few years after that, well this world will come into ours.

Intelligent life from inside the machine.

I for one can't wait to meet him.

Our main story, ENCOM CEO and video game icon Kevin Flynn has disappeared.

He was best known for designing Tron and Space

Paranoids, the best-selling video games in history.

The company that started at Kevin Flynn's arcade

in the 1980s has faced years of corporate turmoil.

Can it find its way to the victory spree once again?

It's a sister act for ENCOM.

Even Tess Kim take the reins of the massive tech

company after Sam Flynn resigns for personal reasons.

ENCOM rebound under the Kim sisters leadership has competitors rushing to respond.

Software giant Dillinger Systems appoints its new CEO Julian Dillinger.

The customer stores grandfather's legacy.

And Dillinger Systems heats up as new CEOs

Julian Dillinger and the Kim sisters square off.

Here at ENCOM, we believe the beauty of AI is not the ability to build smarter

weapons, but to uplift humanity, feed the hungry, cure the sick,

educate the world.

Final CEOs Julian Dillinger and Eve Kim have gone quiet in recent months,

raising speculation that two companies are very

close to a substantial technological breakthrough.

One that has the potential to

transform humanity in ways we have never seen before.

The future may well lie in the hands of who ever get first.

Woke Up.

Who are you?

Im your creator.

And who am I?

Not who?

What?

You are Dillinger Systems security software programming areas to

our master control.

Here it is.

I am master control.

I had a feeling that you would.

I always dreamed that we would do this together.

I'll admit not exactly like this, but I'm glad you're here.

I'm really glad.

And Eve, remember, I'm still here.

Even if you can't see me, I love you.

I'm Eve.

I'm not sure you actually told me we'd be still energy from the power grid.

Wow.

So this is where she kept coming back to, huh?

Do we this disconnected from the world?

That is dedication, my friend.

Wow.

Looks like your sister had a little crush.

Yeah, she was so sure Flynn left us the answer.

Like on a floppy disk?

Poor Flynn lived before the cloud, huh?

Hey, are you still going to be doing CEO type stuff while we're out here?

You know, like Bernie's calls and the once your panic city and stuff.

Let's just get this done.

Dude, I can make breakfast burritos right here.

Oh, yeah.

This is for you, Tess.

For over 40 years, my family at Dillinger Systems

has battled NCOM for control of the future.

You put me in charge of the company to ensure our victory.

Today, I make it so.

Imagine if all our digital prowess wasn't just digital, what if anything we could

dream in the machine could become a reality here?

What if we could build the bridge between two previously walled off worlds?

So much talk of AI and big tech today.

Virtual worlds, what are they going to look like?

But will we get there?

Well, folks, we're not going there.

They are coming here.

Attention.

Please put on your safety glasses now.

Laser systems activated.

Power fluctuations or not.

Warning.

Stand clear.

I present the Dillinger Systems amphibious rapid response tank.

The dart.

Digitally modeled inside our server, output using our patented laser technology.

It's an M1 rifle gun.

Two M240 machine guns.

It's got a top speed of 75 miles per hour.

Durability.

You find a wall.

This thing is going to drive through it.

This is full scale war.

Five minutes notice.

So, if we can create the hardware of the

future, then why not the soldier to operate it?

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like you to meet Aries.

This is the most sophisticated security program ever written.

You want to shake his hand?

Go ahead.

He doesn't bite.

Aries has billions of lines of code unique to him.

Is it alive?

That depends on your definition, Stuart.

Because unlike you, he's biggly strong, lightning fast, and supremely intelligent.

He is fully proprietary and 100% expendable.

Aries is the ultimate soldier.

He needs no food, no water, sheds no blood, and if by some miracle he is struck

down on the battlefield, I will simply make you another.

With all that sophisticated code, what makes you think you can contain it?

I can assure you, General, the most advanced fail-safe

mechanisms and restriction protocols are in place.

Aries is predictable, controllable, and fully alive.

Southerly front with isentropic lift-turning

cyclonic, predicting precipitation 2.6 inches.

I hope that you brought your umbrellas.

I have to hand it to you, Julian.

You promised a big win, and this is even bigger than any of us could have imagined.

Thank you.

My grandfather started Dillinger Corporation

long before anybody heard the term cybersecurity.

Military AI is the future.

The question is not whether the car should be built.

The car is being built right now.

The question is, who's holding the keys?

That was quite some parlor trick.

44 seconds.

I hope you brought your umbrellas.

Or was that in the script, or was he just having a moment?

Elizabeth Dillinger, eldest daughter of founder Edward Dillinger, deceased.

Longtime CEO during a relatively unremarkable period of

corporate history before being superseded by your own son.

It's a pleasure.

Unremarkable.

Market share was up 12% during my tenure.

That's hardly...

In any way, we don't say it's superseded.

We... we call it giving birth.

Of course.

It's an honor to meet my creator's creator.

Oh, here we go.

I notice you left out the part where you can't seem to

keep this thing of yours alive for more than 25 minutes.

39.

The thieving your investors, Julian, is hardly a business model.

Whoever controls the permanence code controls the future.

We have to win.

Look, I...

admire your vision.

Straighten up.

However, the board will only stand behind you for another six months.

If you're lucky.

But if it doesn't work, all of this goes away, darling.

Everything we have built for the past 40 years.

What if I said I'd found a way?

Oh, I think this is my 95th breakfast burrito.

And honestly, you can't get enough.

Isn't that wild?

Well, nice to see Tess wasn't the only obsessive one in the family.

Yeah, Saf, you're really excited.

We paid more attention to you.

Oh, don't worry about it.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Get out of here.

Look, three months and sub-zero is a long time.

I get it.

Yeah, four days.

Ten hours, thirty-two minutes.

Who's counting?

Really.

Hold on.

What do you mean?

What?

Seth?

You found something?

I think so.

It's a line of code.

That's how we hit it.

It's two lines.

Hold on.

That looks like a double helix.

It is a double helix.

Tess would have loved this.

Wait, are you serious?

There's no more 29 minutes now.

If this is what I think it is, it's the permanent's code.

NCOM offline child, day 178-1.

Permanent's code implemented.

Testing for asset stability beyond current 29-minute barrier.

Go.

Ready when you are.

Okay.

It's all under risk, baby.

Have that.

Never gets older.

Child immense.
