Official trailer and plot of Tron: Ares
Tron: Ares centers on a high-stakes competition between two powerful tech companies, ENCOM and Dillinger Systems. They’re racing to create fully realized digital programs, and the key lies in cracking a complex issue – keeping these programs from decaying after just 29 minutes – using a special code created by Kevin Flynn.
Dillinger sends Ares, a powerful AI soldier, to steal valuable code. But Ares unexpectedly becomes self-aware and starts to wonder about his own existence. After ENCOM creates a functioning digital orange tree, Ares chooses to help humanity. This sparks a battle over whether Ares should be free and if the code should be used to create life, or exploited for destructive purposes.

Jared Leto plays the main character, Ares, a powerful artificial intelligence soldier, in Tron: Ares. The film also features Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Jodie Turner-Smith, Hasan Minhaj, Arturo Castro, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, and a supporting cast of other talented actors.
