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.
acknowledged,
master control.
end of line.
video game unit 18.
in here, program.
who you calling
program, program ?
new guy ?
another free program
off-line.
you really think the users
are still there ?
they'd better be.
i don't wanna bust out of here
and find nothing but a lot of
cold circuits waiting for me.
hey.
who are you guys ?
hold it !
you wanna watch
those force fields.
you'll be having plenty
of chances to get hurt.
don't worry about that.
look, just so i can
tell my friends...
what this dream is about,
okay, where am i ?
you're a...
guest of the
master control program.
oh, great.
they're gonna make you
play video games.
no sweat.
i play video games
better than anybody.
move out !
this way.
you, you come
this way.
there's been a mistake.
i've gotta see the guy
in charge.
you will.
[ guard yells, indistinct ]
command program sark's
carrier is approaching.
he will explain
the training procedures.
greetings.
the master control program
has chosen you...
to serve your system
on the game grid.
those of you who continue
to profess a belief
in the users...
will receive the standard
substandard training,
which will result in
your eventual elimination.
those of you
who renounce...
this superstitious
and hysterical belief,
will be eligible
to join the warrior elite...
of the mcp.
you will each receive
an identity disk.
everything
you do or learn...
will be imprinted
on this disk.
if you lose your disk
or fail to follow commands,
you will be subject
to immediate de-resolution.
that will be all.
[ guard ]
move out.
hey, who's that guy ?
that's tron.
he fights for the users.
tron ?
[ flynn ]
that's pretty good.
watch this.
you gotta be good
if you wanna survive.
what's your name ?
my name's ram.
hey, ram,
what were you,
you know, before ?
i was an actuarial program.
i worked for a big
insurance company.
really gives you
a great feeling...
helping folks plan
for their future needs.
of course, if you think
of the payments as an annuity
over the years,
the cost is really
quite minimal.
yeah, that's great.
actuarial program.
nice.
how about yourself ?
oh, i don't remember
too much.
name's flynn.
sure, a little disorientation,
that's normal in transport.
it'll come back to you.
[ footsteps ]
[ ram ]
this is it.
good luck, flynn.
sir, conscript being moved
from pit cell to ring game.
you know--  hey !
you guys sure
are friendly.
wait.
let him fight
one of his own kind.
you think you're
gonna wipe me out,
don't you ?
no, i--
hey !  i--
the new guy
was asking about you.
it's too bad
he's in a match now.
i'll probably
never meet him.
you might.
there's something
different about him.
okay.
that was
a very fancy shot.
okay, here's
an easy one.
finish the game !
- no !
- kill him.
no.
you'll regret this.
aah !
[ mcp ]
i want him in the games
until he dies playing.

that name ?
that's your name,
isn't it ?

how did you know ?
i'm a program from
a user that knows alan.
he was disoriented
in transport, tron.
but i'm remembering
all kinds of stuff,
like my user wants me
to go after the mcp.
