US EditionA Real-Life Robber, a Musical and 'Tron: Ares' — All in Theaters This Weekend
Tron: Ares depicts a digital combat program questioning its purpose amid corporate ambitions to weaponize AI and advanced technology for military dominance.
- On release, Walt Disney Pictures' Tron: Ares presents a soft reboot following Tron: Legacy , with Ares , a digital security program, sent into the real world.
- Julian Dillinger builds Dillinger Systems to weaponize AI and 3D printing for military profit, pursuing an empire amid ENCOM's corporate monolith shaped by data and ambition.
- Directed by Joachim Rønning and scored by Nine Inch Nails, the film dazzles with neon-soaked visuals while Jared Leto anchors the role as a cyber-punk Pinocchio-like figure.
- The combat program can remain solid for only 29 minutes, forcing Julian to task it with kidnapping Eve Kim and stealing Kevin Flynn's Permanence Code before it betrays Dillinger.
- With Tron absent and a PG‑13 shift, the franchise adopts a darker, industrial tone that hints at sequels, as the film probes identity, purpose, and the human‑machine boundary, positioning Disney to capitalize.
