Steven Lisberger's classic 1982 movie Tron mostly occurs within the virtual universe inside electronic games, where digital beings, depicted as characters in glowing outfits, compete on the virtual landscape in dangerous challenges. The characters are brutally destroyed (or “derezzed”) in the Battlefield and smashed by jetwalls in digital vehicle showdowns. Joseph Kosinski's 2010 follow-up Tron: Legacy returns inside the virtual domain for additional high-speed races and more combat on the digital plane.

Joachim Rønning's Legacy follow-up Tron: Ares employs a marginally less interactive method. In the film, virtual characters still battle each other for survival on the virtual arena, but primarily in life-or-death battles over secretive data, acting as avatars for their corporate creators. Protection software and intrusion agents clash on digital networks, and in the real world, Recognizers and speed bikes exported from the virtual world function as they do in the virtual world.

The warrior program the protagonist (the actor) is another recent development: a enhanced fighter who can be infinitely manufactured to participate in conflicts in our world. But would the real-life Leto have the real-world abilities to survive if he was pulled into one of the Grid’s challenges? During a recent media gathering, actors and filmmakers of Tron: Ares were inquired what digital environments they would be most apt to make it through. We have their replies — but we have our own judgments about their skills to endure inside digital realms.

The Star

Part: In Tron: Ares, Greta Lee embodies the executive, the CEO of ENCOM, who is preoccupied from her corporate responsibilities as she tries to recover the “permanence code” thought to be abandoned by Kevin Flynn (the star).

The virtual world the actress feels she could survive in: “My little ones are extremely into Minecraft,” she states. “I would never want them to know this, but [Minecraft] is so cool, the environments that they build. I believe I would prefer to enter one of the realms that they've built. My little one has built this one with beasts — it's just stocked with birds, because he adores parrots.”

The actress's likelihood of survival: 90%. If she simply resides with her little ones' feathered companions, she's secure. But it's unclear whether she is aware of how to avoid or contend with a hostile mob.

Evan Peters

Role: the actor portrays the antagonist, the head of competing company Dillinger Systems and descendant of Ed Dillinger (the actor) from the original Tron.

The game Evan Peters feels he could survive in: “I would certainly fail in the [Disc Arena],” he said. “I'd go into BioShock.” Clarifying that response to colleague the star, he explains, “It's such a good video game, it’s the top. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, remarkable post-apocalyptic realms in the franchise, and the game is an underground, run-down nightmare.” Did he understand the inquiry? Uncertain.

Evan Peters' chances of endurance: In BioShock? A low chance, like any other regular individual's odds in the city. In any of the post-apocalyptic series? A modest chance, only based on his appeal score.

The Star

Role: Anderson portrays Elisabeth Dillinger, mother to the son and offspring to the original character. She’s the former leader of the company, and a increasingly level-headed leader than Julian.

The game the actress feels she could survive in: “Pong,” stated Anderson, regardless of her evident experience with the digital experience Myst and her featured role in the late 1990s participatory digital disc The X-Files Game. “That's as sophisticated as I could handle. It might take so long for the [ball] to arrive that I could duck out of the way swiftly before it came to hit me in the face.”

The actress's chances of survival: An even chance, depending on the abstract nature of the title and whether receiving a blow by the object, or not returning the ball back to the adversary, would be fatal. Furthermore, it’s very dark in Pong — could she slip off the platform to her demise? What does the empty space of Pong impact a individual?

The Director

Role: the director is the filmmaker of Tron: Ares. He furthermore helmed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The virtual world Rønning thinks he could make it through: Tomb Raider. “I'm a child of the ’80s, so I was into the home computer and the Atari, but the original experience that got to me was the first ever Tomb Raider on the system,” Joachim Rønning explains. “As a cinema buff — it was the original game that was so immersive, it was physical. I'm uncertain that's the environment I would actually want to be in, but that was my initial incredible adventure, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's probability of endurance: A low chance. If Rønning was transported into a Tomb Raider world and had to deal with the animals and {booby traps
