I don't think
I'm cleared for this.
- I'm certainly not.
- You wanna move aside?
Give the kid
a little room.
This guy's a little
like Santa Claus.
I make these myself.
You want one?
[ Flynn ] They never should have
gotten rid of me.
- Now that is a big door.
- Shut up.
It's my fault.
I programmed you to want too much.
[ MCP ] I was planning to
hit the Pentagon next week.
The Pentagon?
It shouldn't be harder
than any other big company.
But now this is what I get
for using humans.
Wait a minute.
I wrote you!
I've gotten 2,415 times
smarter since then.
What do you want
with the Pentagon?
The same thing I want with the Kremlin.
I'm bored with corporations.
With the information
I can access,
I can run things 900 to 1,200 times
better than any human.
If you think
you're superior to us--
You wouldn't want me
to dig up Flynn's file...
and read it up on a V.D.T.
at the Times, would you?
You wouldn't dare!
- Hi.
- Hi. Working late?
Yeah.
Okay, come here.
I'm gonna put him
at my terminal.
I'm gonna meet you
in your office upstairs.
Don't fall asleep. If and when
I activate your Tron program,
you'll only have a few minutes
to use it before Dillinger
catches the break in security.
As long as we
stay off the top floor,
Dillinger will never know
we've been in here.
[ Alan ]
Good luck, hotshot.
- Ahem.
- Flynn!
After you.
[ MCP ] Keep those programers
out of the system,
and get me that
Chinese language file I asked for.
End of line.
- You are going to stick with me?
- What for?
You're the one who never
needed help, remember?
Come on. I'm scared of the dark.
All this technology scares me.
This way!
- When did they put this in?
- This is where I work.
I've got a direct terminal
in the laser target area.
You can stay there
all night if you have to.
Like a man says,
"There's no problems, only solutions."
Okay, remember,
this laser is my life's work.
Don't spill anything.
Huh?
Have fun, sweetheart.
Hey, it's the big Master Control Program
everybody's been talking about.
[ MCP ] Sit right there.
Make yourself comfortable.
Remember the time we used to
spend playing chess together?
Stop! Please.
You realize
I can't allow this?
How are you gonna run
the universe if you can't answer
a few unsolvable problems?
Come on, big fella,
let's see what you've got.
[ MCP] I'd like to go against you
and see what you're made of.
You don't look a thing
like your pictures.
I'm warning you,
you're entering a big error, Flynn.
I'm gonna have to
put you on the game grid.
Games? You want games?
I'll give you games.
Oh, man, this isn't happening.
It only thinks it's happening.
Vacate entry port,
program.
I said, move!
Aah!
Hey!
Look, if this is about
those parking tickets,
I can explain
everything, okay?
Prepare all programs
for war games.
I've got a little challenge
for you, Sark, a new recruit.
It's a tough case, but but I want him
treated in the usual manner.
Train him
for the games,
let him hope for a while,
then blow him away.
You got it.
I've been hoping you'd send me
somebody with a little bit of guts.
What kind
of program is he?
He's not any kind of program,
Sark, he's a User.
- A User?
- That's right.
He pushed me
in the real world.
Somebody pushes me, I push back.
So I brought him down here.
What's the matter, Sark?
You look nervous.
Well, I--
I was just--
I don't know.
A User, I mean--
Users wrote us.
A User even wrote you!
No one User wrote me.
I'm worth millions of their man-years.
What if I can't?
You'd rather take
your chances with me?
Want me to slow down
your power cycles for you?
Wait! I need that!
Then pull yourself together.
Get this clown trained.
I want him in the games
until he dies playing. Acknowledge.
