The original director's groundbreaking 1982 film Tron mostly takes place within the fantastical realm inside video games, where software entities, depicted as characters in illuminated costumes, battle on the digital arena in lethal games. These entities are brutally destroyed (or “deleted”) in the Combat Zone and smashed by energy barriers in high-speed conflicts. The sequel director's 2010 sequel Tron: Legacy ventures inside the computer world for more light-cycle action and additional conflict on the virtual world.

The new director's Legacy sequel Tron: Ares employs a slightly reduced interactive style. In the picture, programs still battle each other for endurance on the Grid, but mainly in high-stakes conflicts over secretive data, acting as representatives for their company creators. Protection software and hacking tools confront on corporate systems, and in the outside world, Recognizers and digital motorcycles transferred from the digital realm operate as they do in the simulated universe.

The warrior program the protagonist (the star) is another new innovation: a super-soldier who can be infinitely 3D reprinted to participate in conflicts in our world. But would the human Leto have the actual skills to survive if he was pulled into one of the Grid’s games? At a latest media gathering, the cast and crew of Tron: Ares were questioned what games they would be most likely to survive in. Here are their replies — but we also offer our own assessments about their capabilities to endure inside virtual worlds.

Greta Lee

Character: In Tron: Ares, Greta Lee plays the CEO, the leader of the corporation, who is distracted from her leadership tasks as she tries to recover the crucial information thought to be left behind by the founder (the star).

The virtual world Lee believes she could endure in: “My kids are very into Minecraft,” she says. “I wouldn't want them to know this, but [Minecraft] is so cool, the worlds that they construct. I feel I would prefer to enter one of the environments that they've built. My little one has constructed this one with beasts — it's just packed with feathered friends, because he is fond of parrots.”

Lee’s probability of endurance: Ninety percent. If Greta Lee simply hangs out with her little ones' parrots, she's safe. But it's uncertain whether she understands how to avoid or handle a dangerous creature.

Evan Peters

Role: Peters embodies the antagonist, the chief of competing company the organization and descendant of Ed Dillinger (the star) from the initial Tron.

The virtual world Evan Peters believes he could survive in: “I certainly would absolutely be defeated in the [Disc Arena],” he said. “I'd go into BioShock.” Explaining that answer to co-star Gillian Anderson, he states, “It's really such a great game, it’s the finest. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, incredible ruined realms in the series, and the title is an underground, decrepit society.” Did he even grasp the inquiry? Unknown.

Evan Peters' likelihood of survival: In BioShock? Five percent, like any other regular individual's chances in the city. In any of the post-apocalyptic series? 10%, purely based on his charm score.

The Actress

Role: the actress portrays the matriarch, guardian to Julian and offspring to Ed. She’s the ex CEO of the company, and a more level-headed executive than Julian.

The virtual world the actress thinks she could endure in: “Pong,” said Gillian Anderson, regardless of her evident experience with the game Myst and her co-starring role in the late 1990s choose-your-own-adventure software The X-Files Game. “That's about as complex as I could handle. It might take so a while for the [ball] to arrive that I could move out of the way quickly before it came to hit me in the face.”

Gillian Anderson's probability of endurance: An even chance, considering the simple character of Pong and whether getting struck by the pixel, or not hitting the ball back to the opponent, would be deadly. Furthermore, it’s very dim in Pong — could she tumble from the arena to her demise? What does the empty space of Pong impact a individual?

Joachim Rønning

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

The virtual world Rønning believes he could endure in: Tomb Raider. “I'm a kid of the ’80s, so I was fond of the Commodore 64 and the gaming device, but the first game that captivated me was the very first Tomb Raider on the console,” Rønning explains. “Being a cinema buff — it was the initial title that was so captivating, it was tactile. I doubt that's the title I would really want to be in, but that was my initial remarkable journey, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's probability of survival: A low chance. If Rønning was placed into a adventure world and had to deal with the animals and {booby traps
