Tron: Ares - The Digital World Comes Home

Tron: Ares is making its way to home screens sooner than expected. Fans can catch the latest installment in the Tron series on video-on-demand starting December 2. Those eager to own a physical copy can look forward to the 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD releases on January 6. The story picks up years after the events of Tron: Legacy. This time, Julian Dillinger, played by Evan Peters, takes center stage. He's the son of the original Tron villain, Ed Dillinger. Julian has cooked up a wild idea: 3D printing live-action programs and vehicles that can exist in the real world. There's just one catch - they only stick around for 29 minutes. Enter Ares, portrayed by Jared Leto. He's one of Julian's programs with a burning desire to become permanent. Teaming up with Eve Kim, the current CEO of Encom, Ares seeks a way to break free from the digital world. Eve has stumbled upon a permanency code, which could be the key to Ares' freedom. Jeff Bridges returns as Kevin Flynn, the iconic character from the original Tron films. Ares crosses paths with Flynn in an old computer program, adding a layer of intrigue to the story. The cast also includes Gillian Anderson as Julian's mother, Elisabeth Dillinger, and Jodie Turner-Smith as another program, Athena. The film's soundtrack is brought to life by Nine Inch Nails, adding a unique edge to the overall experience. For collectors, the physical editions come in a sleek steelbook. Bonus features include deleted scenes and five behind-the-scenes featurettes, offering a deeper dive into the making of the film.
