What Makes Tron: Ares Special?
Jared Leto stars as Ares, an advanced program sent by Dillinger Systems on a dangerous mission: survive permanently outside the Grid using the mysterious Permanence Code. What begins as corporate espionage evolves into a philosophical journey as Ares develops self-awareness after meeting ENCOM CEO Eve Kim (Greta Lee).
