The original director's classic 1982 picture Tron mostly occurs within the virtual world inside digital games, where programs, depicted as people in neon-streaked outfits, battle on the virtual landscape in lethal games. Programs are ruthlessly killed (or “derezzed”) in the Battlefield and smashed by jetwalls in digital vehicle conflicts. The filmmaker's 2010 continuation Tron: Legacy ventures inside the computer world for additional high-speed races and more conflict on the virtual world.

Joachim Rønning's Legacy continuation Tron: Ares employs a somewhat lesser game-like style. In the film, programs still battle each other for survival on the virtual arena, but mostly in critical struggles over classified files, functioning as agents for their corporate creators. Protection software and hacking tools confront on ENCOM servers, and in the physical world, large vehicles and digital motorcycles transferred from the Grid operate as they do in the digital environment.

The warrior program Ares (Jared Leto) is a further new innovation: a enhanced fighter who can be infinitely 3D reprinted to engage in battles in the real world. But would the flesh-and-blood actor have the actual skills to survive if he was transported into one of the virtual world's contests? In a recent press event, the cast and crew of Tron: Ares were asked what digital environments they would be most likely to survive in. We have their responses — but we also offer our own judgments about their skills to survive inside digital realms.

The Star

Role: In Tron: Ares, Lee embodies the executive, the chief executive of the corporation, who is distracted from her corporate responsibilities as she attempts to locate the “permanence code” assumed to be remaining by the founder (the star).

The virtual world Greta Lee thinks she could make it through: “My children are extremely into Minecraft,” she says. “I wouldn't want them to realize this, but [Minecraft] is so amazing, the realms that they construct. I believe I would want to go onto one of the worlds that they've created. My little one has constructed this one with beasts — it's just filled with feathered friends, because he adores parrots.”

Lee’s likelihood of success: 90%. If Lee simply stays with her kids’ feathered companions, she's safe. But it's unclear whether she is aware of how to avoid or deal with a dangerous creature.

The Actor

Part: Evan Peters embodies Julian Dillinger, the head of competing company the business and descendant of Ed Dillinger (the star) from the first Tron.

The digital environment the actor believes he could make it through: “I certainly would definitely be defeated in the [Disc Arena],” he said. “I might go into BioShock.” Elaborating on that reply to co-star Gillian Anderson, he says, “It's really such a great video game, it’s the finest. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, amazing ruined environments in the series, and BioShock is an underground, decrepit dystopia.” Was he comprehend the inquiry? Unknown.

The actor's likelihood of endurance: In BioShock? A low chance, comparable to any other average person's chances in the location. In any of the post-apocalyptic title? Ten percent, purely based on his charisma rating.

The Actress

Part: the actress plays Elisabeth Dillinger, mother to Julian and offspring to the original character. She’s the ex CEO of the company, and a more level-headed leader than Julian.

The virtual world Gillian Anderson believes she could endure in: “Pong,” remarked Anderson, despite her evident knowledge with the game Myst and her supporting appearance in the 1998 interactive CD-ROM The X-Files Game. “That's about as complex as I could manage. It might take so long for the [ball] to come that I could move out of the way quickly before it reached to collide with me in the head.”

Gillian Anderson's probability of success: Fifty percent, considering the simple nature of the game and whether getting struck by the ball, or not volleying the object back to the adversary, would be fatal. Furthermore, it’s really dim in Pong — could she tumble from the platform to her demise? What does the black void of Pong impact a human?

Joachim Rønning

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

The virtual world the director thinks he could survive in: Tomb Raider. “I am a youngster of the ’80s, so I was into the home computer and the Atari, but the initial experience that influenced me was the original Tomb Raider on the console,” Joachim Rønning says. “Since I'm a film enthusiast — it was the first game that was so captivating, it was tactile. I'm uncertain that's the title I would actually want to be in, but that was my initial incredible journey, at least.”

Rønning’s likelihood of survival: Twenty percent. If he was dropped into a Lara Croft title and had to contend with the creatures and {booby traps
