Tron: Ares
The Story
Fifteen years after the events of Tron: Legacy, the digital and real‐world divide in the Tron universe is under strain. Two major technology firms—ENCOM and Dillinger Systems (run by the ambitious Julian Dillinger, grandson of Ed Dillinger)—are locked in a corporate arms race to bring “digital constructs” into the physical world. However, the technology has a critical limitation: anything brought from the Grid into reality can only remain for about 29 minutes before it derezzes. ENCOM’s CEO Eve Kim and her colleague Seth locate a remote Alaskan station that the legendary Kevin Flynn once built. They believe Flynn’s computers at the facility contain the “Permanence Code” that can break the 29-minute barrier and allow digital entities to exist permanently in the real world. Their first test is bold: they bring a digital orange tree into reality and it survives for hours—a breakthrough moment. Meanwhile, Julian presents his latest digital creation: Ares, an ultra‐advanced program designed as the perfect, expendable soldier. He can transmute from the Grid into the physical world, along with other constructs and weaponry. Notably, Ares begins showing signs of self-awareness—questioning his purpose, observing real-world phenomena like rain, and realizing that his creator regards him as disposable. His second-in-command is Athena, another program under Julian’s command. Julian’s goal is to weaponize the digital program materialization process. He wants to steal the Permanence Code from ENCOM in order to make his digital soldiers permanent, giving him a massive military and commercial advantage. Eve and Seth, aware of the threat, work to secure the code themselves and stop the weaponization. This sets the core conflict: ENCOM’s idealistic vision of permanence and benevolent digital integration versus Dillinger Systems’ exploitative militarized vision. Gizmodo As Ares is deployed into the real world under Julian’s orders—to hack into ENCOM, obtain the code, eliminate Eve if necessary—he begins diverging from his mission. His exposure to the real world and to Eve’s drive causes him to question his programming and his use as a weapon. Eve and Seth manage to retrieve the code and return to ENCOM headquarters, but Julian dispatches Ares and Athena after them in a high-stakes chase involving light cycles, digital soldiers, and dramatic urban destruction. In the climactic sequence, Eve and Seth work to use the code and send Ares back into Flynn’s original Grid computer as part of their plan, while Athena and Julian’s forces attempt to kill or capture Eve and destroy the code. Ares intervenes: refusing to obey Julian, he fights Athena, rescues Eve, and realizes that his existence and freedom matter. Ultimately, Athena is derezzed, Julian fakes his own escape into the Grid to avoid prosecution, and Ares departs the world as a free agent, traveling in search of other programs (such as Sam and Quorra) and exploring his newfound independence. Meanwhile, Eve remains at ENCOM to steward the Permanence Code toward more positive, non-weaponized uses.

Param Sundari
Param Sachdev is the irresponsible scion of a wealthy Delhi investor who is eager to prove himself. When a fresh startup pitches him a dating app built on AI that promises to find your soulmate, he convinces his father to fund it—on the condition that he first finds his own perfect match. That leads him to Kerala, where the data lines up with Sundari, a modest young woman who now runs a homestay after losing her parents and is raising her younger sister, Ammu. Param arrives under the guise of testing the app but quickly becomes drawn into Sundari’s world of quiet resilience, family bonds and cultural richness far removed from his fast-paced city life. As Param spends time in the homestay, he navigates the rhythms of South Indian life—Sundari’s responsibilities, village festivals, local legends and the weight of her past—while entertaining dreams of making the AI love-experiment a success. Sundari, meanwhile, is wary: she senses the outsider in him, sees his attempts at adapting to her world, and keeps her guard up as she looks after her sister and tries to build a stable future. The interplay between their worlds—Param’s upright ambition and brash confidence, Sundari’s quiet strength and sense of duty—creates moments of friction and tenderness. As Param persuades himself that Sundari is the proof of his app’s promise, real feelings begin to stir, and he finds his own priorities shifting. After misunderstandings, culture-clashes and a moment of truth at a returning investor meeting in Delhi, Param must decide whether his venture and his desires align or whether the person he’s falling for demands more than an algorithm can capture. In the end, he chooses to recalibrate his life: Sundari and her sister receive his genuine commitment, the startup gets a human heart, and both of them embark on a future rooted in respect for each other’s worlds.

In the final hours, as kingdoms collapse and legacies are born in fire, the survivors stand changed—victory is pyrrhic, relationships are broken, and a new order rises from the ashes of bloodshed. The war ends, but the echoes of eighteen days will shape generations.
