Steven Lisberger's iconic 1982 movie Tron largely unfolds within the fantastical realm inside electronic games, where software entities, depicted as characters in illuminated attire, face off on the digital arena in lethal contests. The characters are ruthlessly killed (or “erased”) in the Disc Arena and crushed by energy barriers in high-speed battles. The sequel director's 2010 continuation Tron: Legacy returns inside the digital realm for further high-speed races and further combat on the digital plane.

The new director's Legacy continuation Tron: Ares employs a somewhat reduced game-like method. In the picture, virtual characters still fight each other for existence on the digital world, but mostly in high-stakes battles over confidential information, acting as representatives for their company developers. Protection software and intrusion agents engage on digital networks, and in the real world, large vehicles and digital motorcycles brought from the Grid operate as they do in the simulated universe.

The warrior program the main character (Jared Leto) is another new innovation: a super-soldier who can be infinitely manufactured to fight wars in our world. But would the real-life star have the real-world abilities to survive if he was pulled into one of the Grid’s games? In a recent media gathering, stars and directors of Tron: Ares were asked what digital environments they would be most apt to endure in. We have their responses — but we also offer our own assessments about their capabilities to endure inside virtual worlds.

Greta Lee

Character: In Tron: Ares, the actress portrays Eve Kim, the chief executive of ENCOM, who is distracted from her corporate responsibilities as she seeks to locate the “permanence code” believed to be left behind by the founder (the actor).

The game the actress thinks she could make it through: “My children are extremely into Minecraft,” she explains. “I wouldn't want them to discover this, but [Minecraft] is so fantastic, the realms that they build. I feel I would prefer to go onto one of the environments that they've created. My little one has constructed this one with beasts — it's just stocked with birds, because he adores parrots.”

The actress's chances of success: A high percentage. If Greta Lee simply stays with her little ones' parrots, she's safe. But it's unknown whether she understands how to evade or deal with a hostile mob.

The Actor

Role: Peters plays the antagonist, the head of ENCOM rival Dillinger Systems and relative of the original character (the actor) from the original Tron.

The game the actor thinks he could endure in: “I would definitely be defeated in the [Disc Arena],” Peters stated. “I'd go into BioShock.” Elaborating on that response to co-star Gillian Anderson, he says, “It is such a excellent video game, it’s the finest. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, remarkable dystopian worlds in Fallout, and the game is an subterranean, decrepit nightmare.” Was he comprehend the query? Uncertain.

Peters’ chances of endurance: In BioShock? A low chance, like any other normal human's chances in the city. In each post-apocalyptic series? 10%, solely based on his charm score.

Gillian Anderson

Character: the actress embodies the mother, mother to the son and offspring to the founder. She’s the previous leader of the corporation, and a increasingly calm director than her son.

The game Anderson believes she could survive in: “Pong,” remarked Gillian Anderson, regardless of her apparent familiarity with the game Myst and her co-starring role in the 1998 participatory CD-ROM The X-Files Game. “That's as complex as I could get. It might take so long for the [ball] to arrive that I could move out of the way quickly before it reached to collide with me in the face.”

Anderson’s chances of success: Fifty percent, based on the basic essence of the title and whether getting struck by the object, or not returning the pixel back to the adversary, would be fatal. Also, it’s extremely gloomy in Pong — could she fall off the arena to her death? What does the black void of Pong affect a person?

Joachim Rønning

Position: Rønning is the director of Tron: Ares. He additionally helmed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The virtual world Rønning feels he could make it through: Tomb Raider. “I'm a youngster of the ’80s, so I was into the home computer and the Atari, but the initial experience that captivated me was the first ever Tomb Raider on PlayStation,” Rønning says. “Since I'm a film enthusiast — it was the original game that was so captivating, it was physical. I'm uncertain that's the game I would actually desire to be in, but that was my first amazing journey, at least.”

The director's probability of endurance: Twenty percent. If he was placed into a Tomb Raider title and had to contend with the creatures and {booby traps
