Hey, man. It's your lucky day.
- Any program without their disk... - Stop him!
...will be taken into custody.
Any program in violation of their function is subject to termination.
Sam Flynn? You remember me?
- Yeah. You gave me some advice. - And you followed it.
It's unfortunate we met the way we did.
You have a good night.
You're looking for someone.
What makes you say that?
Intuition.
Sir, the sentries downtown have recovered Flynn's light cycle.
We've traced it to its point of origin.
Prepare the light runner, Quorra.
We're going downtown.
Thank you for bringing my son to me.
Flynn!
You don't need to go. I've sent him to someone we can trust.
Quorra, there is no choice.
I won't lose him again.
Chaos. Good news.
Relax. They're occupied.
His name is Castor. If you want to speak to Zuse, you need to go through him.
Where's your sense of humor, my friend?
Programs are disappearing. Soon none of us will be left.
Zuse can unite the factions, foment revolution.
- Of course Zuse can do these things. - Grant me an audience.
Your enthusiasm is intoxicating, my dear Bartik,
but Zuse's time is precious.
We shall see.
I brought your boy Flynn.
If you'll excuse me for a moment, I have to attend to something.
But have a drink, courtesy of the End of Line Club!
It is happening.
Come, away from these primitive functions.
The son of Flynn.
Of all the innumerable possibilities, he has to walk into mine.
Libations
for everybody!
I'm Castor, your host.
Provider of any and all entertainments
and diversions.
At your service.
I'm looking for Zuse.
Indeed. Many are.
Where can I find him?
This, pretty miss, is a conversation best had behind closed doors.
Perhaps we should retire to my private lounge.
I designed it myself, you know. It's true.
I'm stepping away for a moment, boys. Change the scheme, alter the mood.
Electrify the boys and girls if you'd be so kind.
- Thank you.
Gem. My name is Gem.
Cozy.
- You are CLU. - I am CLU.
- You will create the perfect system. - I will create the perfect system.
Together we're gonna change the world, man.
Let's move.
Zuse has been around
since the earliest days of the gaming grid.
By necessity, he has to mind all the percentages.
All the angles.
So when do I meet him?
You just did.
After the Purge, I needed to reinvent myself.
Self-preservation, you understand.
Now, what can I do for you?
I need to get to the portal.
Well, it's closing quickly,
as I'm sure you're aware.
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
And it's quite the journey.
Beyond the far reaches of the Outlands.
Your father didn't want any programs slipping out accidentally, did he?
- Can you help me? - Of course.
But first, as a man who prides himself on staying well informed,
I must ask who sent you my way.
Her name's Quorra.
Said she met you a long time ago.
Indeed she did.
Many cycles ago.
It was a different time.
But we're not here to relive the past. Let's see about your future, shall we?
We'll have to change your attire
and you'll need a forged disk. Not easy these days.
And of course you'll need transport
to cross the Sea of Simulation.
This is going to be quite the ride.
I believed in users once before.
Playing all the angles.
Resist!
The game has changed, son of Flynn!
I met your friend. He's fantastic!
Behold! The son of our maker!
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah!
Go, go!
Let's split, man.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
A little help here maybe?
Your disk.
Dad, it's gone.
It is.
I'm sorry. I know I messed up.
We can go back.
- I can go back. - No, we stay together.
- Dad, I can do this. - You've done enough already!
Sam, you're really...
You're messing with my Zen thing, man.
She's stable.
- So what do we do now? - I don't know. Nothing.
We do nothing.
Be still.
Wait.
You ever jump a freight train?
Huh?
We do it your way. Full-on sprint to the portal.
If we beat CLU there, we have a chance.
Let's get her out of here.
This'll take us there.
- Is she gonna make it? - I don't know.
I've got to identify the damaged code.
The sequencing is just enormously complex.
- But didn't you write it? - Some of it. The rest of it is just
beyond me.
She's an ISO.
Yeah. The last ISO.
All this time,
you were just protecting her.
She's the miracle, man. Everything I ever worked for.
"A digital frontier to reshape the human condition."
I always thought that was just a plug line.
In our world, she could change everything.
Yeah.
Check that out.
She risked herself for me.
Some things are worth the risk.
Look at this.
Now, that is impressive if I do say so myself. Huh?
Come on, it's gonna take a while for her system to reboot.
Now it's time for you to tell me a story.
The boy and Flynn are gone.
I presume, Your Excellency, they perished in the elevator.
You presume?
Find them.
Icecaps are melting, war in the Middle East,
Lakers/Celtics back at it.
I don't know. Rich are getting richer, poor are getting poorer.
Cell phones, online dating, Wi-Fi.
- What's Wi-Fi? - Wireless interlinking.
- Of digital devices? - Yeah.
Hmm. I thought of that in '85.
Mom and Dad are...
- I assume that... - Yeah.
Oh.
Mac when I was 12
and Gram five years later.
You remember that night when you didn't come home?
- Well... - You said...
I said I'd show you the Grid.
You should have seen this place back then.
I couldn't wait to show it to you. Could not wait.
Must have been something before CLU screwed it up.
No, no, he...
He's me. I screwed it up.
Chasing after perfection.
Chasing after what was right in front of me.
Right in front of me.
Look what you've accomplished.
It's incredible.
Sam,
I'd have given it all up for one more day with you.
Hey.
Remember your old Ducati?
You kidding? Not a day goes by I don't think about that bike.
- Yeah, well, I'm fixing her up. - You busted my bike?
Twenty years in the shed, no tarp. I mean, she needed a little love.
How does she run?
Well, when I'm done, better than ever.
Well, man, I'd like to see that.
You will.
Here.
She's rebooting. Give her this.
The old man's gonna knock on the sky, listen to the sound.
When Flynn entered the space,
ah, everything changed.
I've never seen anything quite like it.
The awe was
palpable.
- Was it? - I presume
our understanding is still valid?
Control of the city?
A sizeable request, I know.
But seemingly fitting compensation.
Don't you think?
How long have you been searching for this, CLU?
About 1,000 cycles. No?
Just imagine the secrets it holds.
The master key to any and all riddles
of the Grid, Grid, Grid, Grid...
But there's something else, too.
Isn't there?
I've heard the chatter
about this private initiative.
I realize that our alliance is,
at times,
uneasy.
But always necessary.
You know you need me
right where I am.
CLU?
Of course you're right.
Enjoy the drink.
End of line, man.
- Hey. It's okay. We're safe for now.
We're heading east towards the portal.
CLU has the disk.
Once I get out, I can shut him down.
I should never have sent you to Zuse. It was a mistake.
It's okay. I've made a few myself.
Where is he?
I think he's knocking on the sky.
And listening to the sound.
Yeah.
How did you find him?
It's okay.
I know.
It was during the Purge.
CLU was relentless.
The Black Guard were executing ISOs in the streets.
Everyone I knew disappeared.
Then they came for me.
So I ran.
A sympathetic program smuggled me out of the city.
But soon they had me surrounded.
I prepared for the end.
And just as everything was going dark,
I felt a hand on my shoulder.
And when I opened my eyes,
standing above me was the Creator.
Your father.
He saved me.
I guess you could say I'm a rescue.
Hell of a view.
It used to let us know that Flynn was here.
It became the symbol of something bigger,
something better than this world.
I've never been this close before.
It's how I imagine a sunrise to be.
Ah, trust me. There's no comparison.
What's it like?
- The sun? - Yeah.
Man...
I've never had to describe it before.
Warm.
Radiant.
Beautiful.
Get below! Move!
This isn't supposed to be here.
- What happened? - A new course.
What is this?
CLU can't create programs.
He can only destroy or repurpose them.
Repurpose them for what?
Battalion 6, report to Staging Area Alpha.
He's building an army.
Let's go.
All high-level functions, report immediately to combat stations.
- Goodbye. - Quorra!
- What's she doing? - Removing herself from the equation.
Tron.
He's alive.
Throne ship is approaching.
- We can't just let her go. - No, Sam, there's another way.
Throne ship is approaching.
Well done, sir.
I've never seen anything like it.
Humbly, sir, I know you have greater designs
than any of us understand.
What does it do?
She's gonna wind up like one of them.
Keep moving, Sam.
You are a very rare bird, aren't you, now?
Where's your disk?
Where is he?
It must have been so lonely out there.
How tragic to be the only one.
I've seen what users are capable of, CLU.
You don't belong with them.
I have something very special in mind for you.
Take her upstairs.
And find them.
You'll have to excuse me. You arrived just as I was preparing a little toast.
Greetings, programs!
Together we have achieved a great many things.
We have created a vast, complex system. We've maintained it.
We've improved it.
We have rid it of its imperfection.
Not to mention
rid it of the false deity who sought to enslave us.
Kevin Flynn!
Where are you now?
My fellow programs, let there be no doubt
that our world is a cage no more.
For at this moment, the key to the next frontier is finally
in our possession!
Your disk.
And unlike our selfish Creator,
who reserved the privilege of our world only for himself,
I will make their world open
and available to all of us!
Yes!
To all of us!
He's taking all of this with him.
He's figured out how to do it.
And whatever we find there,
there our system will grow!
There our system will blossom!
Do this.
Prove yourselves. Prove yourselves to me!
Be loyal to me!
And I will never betray you!
Dad, we have to get your disk.
We gotta get to the portal. You shut them down outside.
Even if I make it, you won't last in here, nor will Quorra.
- We'll be all right. Come on. - I'm not going home without you.
Sam...
The same team.
Remember?
I was afraid you were gonna say that.
Meet me on the flight deck in five and get us some wheels.
Wheels? What's your plan?
I'm a user. I'll improvise.
Maximize efficiency.
Rid the new system of its imperfection!
My vision is clear, fellow programs.
Out there is a new world!
Out there is our victory!
Out there
is our destiny.
Identify yourself, program.
I'm not a program. My name is Sam Flynn.
- Identify yourself. - I'm taking this vehicle.
You are not authorized.
Right away, sir.
Watch your step, please, as you board the aircraft.
Long live the users.
Master key disengaged.
I came with a girl, a program. Where is she?
Sam! Go!
- Why are you here? - We gotta get to the flight deck.
CLU will be here any minute.
- We'll never make it. - Come on.
Come on, kiddo.
Radical, man.
Hurry!
Made it.
Try and hold on to this. You're gonna need it.
You got this, Quorra. It's all in the wrist.
Light fighter 5. Unauthorized launch.
Death to the user!
Head towards the light, Quorra.
Where did you learn that move?
ENCOM Tower. Couple of nights ago.
ENCOM Tower. Huh.
Light jets.
Here they come.
- Sam, take the turret. - Huh?
Man, I'm all over this.
Yeah!
Yeah! One down, five to go!
Nice.
We gotta split them up!
Come on.
Have a nice swim!
We gotta get behind them!
Whoo!
- I don't think this is a good idea. - You're probably right.
He's gaining on us!
Yes!
It's jammed.
Tron. What have you become?
Oh, come on.
Flynn, go!
Rinzler! Take the shot!
Finish the game!
Roll!
I fight for the users.
That's it. It's over.
It's over!
Whoo!
Quorra, there's something I need you to do.
Let's get you home, Dad.
There it is.
- Take her down. - Hang on. This could be rough.
This is mine.
I had a feeling you'd be here!
The cycles haven't been kind, have they?
Oh, you don't look so bad.
I did everything. Everything you ever asked.
I know you did.
- I executed the plan! - As you saw it.
You... You promised that we would change the world together.
- You broke your promise. - I know.
I understand that now.
I took this system to its maximum potential.
I created the perfect system!
The thing about perfection is that it's unknowable.
It's impossible but it's also right in front of us all the time.
You wouldn't know that because I didn't when I created you.
I'm sorry, CLU.
I'm sorry.
Go.
CLU!
Remember what you came for.
Dad!
You knew I'd beat you.
And still you did all this? For him.
No.
No!
Why?
He's my son.
Go!
Dad!
Sam! It's time!
No!
Sam, it's what he wants.
I'm not leaving you!
Take her!
Yes!
Goodbye, kiddo.
No!
Al?
You paged me?
Yeah.
I need you at ENCOM at 8:00 a.m.
What about the board?
You're chairman now.
I'm taking the company back, Alan.
Oh, and...
You were right.
About what?
About everything.
What's next, Sam?
I guess we're supposed to change the world.
Come on. I wanna show you something.
