Let’s get digital! Yes we’re going back to the grid as a new TRON movie is heading our way this week with TRON: Ares, the highly anticipated third installment in the TRON franchise. The movie is a follow-up to Disney’s 1982 seminal science fiction film, TRON and the 2010 sequel TRON: Legacy.

TRON: Ares follows a highly sophisticated Program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind’s first encounter with A.I. beings.

The movie is directed by Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil) and stars Jared Leto (Suicide Squad), Greta Lee (Russian Doll), Evan Peters (American Horror Story), Hasan Minhaj (It Ends With Us), Jodie Turner-Smith (After Yang), Arturo Castro (Road House), Cameron Monaghan (Shameless), and Gillian Anderson (Sex Education).
