Steven Lisberger's groundbreaking 1982 film Tron largely takes place within the fantastical universe inside video games, where programs, envisioned as human-like figures in glowing attire, battle on the digital arena in deadly games. Programs are ruthlessly eliminated (or “erased”) in the Combat Zone and crushed by energy barriers in digital vehicle battles. Joseph Kosinski's 2010 follow-up Tron: Legacy returns inside the computer world for more vehicle combat and more conflict on the digital plane.

The filmmaker's Legacy sequel Tron: Ares takes a marginally reduced game-like method. In the movie, programs still battle each other for survival on the virtual arena, but primarily in high-stakes battles over classified information, serving as representatives for their corporate developers. Defensive entities and hacking tools confront on corporate systems, and in the physical world, large vehicles and light cycles transferred from the digital realm behave as they do in the simulated universe.

The combat entity Ares (the star) is a further modern creation: a enhanced fighter who can be endlessly 3D reprinted to engage in battles in the physical realm. But would the human Leto have the actual abilities to survive if he was transported into one of the virtual world's challenges? At a recent press event, actors and filmmakers of Tron: Ares were inquired what games they would be most apt to survive in. Below are their replies — but we have our own assessments about their skills to endure inside digital realms.

The Actress

Character: In Tron: Ares, Greta Lee plays Eve Kim, the leader of the corporation, who is distracted from her executive duties as she attempts to locate the “permanence code” believed to be abandoned by the founder (the star).

The game Greta Lee believes she could endure in: “My kids are really into Minecraft,” she explains. “I wouldn't want them to realize this, but [Minecraft] is so amazing, the worlds that they create. I think I would want to go onto one of the realms that they've created. My younger child has designed this one with beasts — it's just filled with birds, because he loves parrots.”

Greta Lee's chances of endurance: 90%. If Greta Lee simply stays with her children's birds, she's safe. But it's uncertain whether she knows how to avoid or contend with a Creeper.

The Star

Character: Peters portrays the antagonist, the head of ENCOM rival the business and relative of Ed Dillinger (David Warner) from the first Tron.

The digital environment the actor thinks he could make it through: “I'd absolutely fail in the [Disc Arena],” he stated. “I'd go into BioShock.” Explaining that response to colleague Gillian Anderson, he explains, “It's really such a good video game, it’s the top. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, incredible post-apocalyptic realms in the franchise, and BioShock is an underground, run-down nightmare.” Was he understand the query? Unknown.

Evan Peters' chances of endurance: In BioShock? 5%, comparable to any other normal human's likelihood in Rapture. In each post-apocalyptic title? Ten percent, solely based on his charisma score.

Gillian Anderson

Character: the actress embodies Elisabeth Dillinger, parent to the son and offspring to the founder. She’s the previous chief executive of Dillinger Systems, and a significantly level-headed executive than the character.

The virtual world the actress believes she could survive in: “Pong,” stated Anderson, regardless of her obvious knowledge with the digital experience Myst and her co-starring appearance in the 1998 choose-your-own-adventure software The X-Files Game. “That is as sophisticated as I could handle. It would take so much time for the [ball] to approach that I could dodge out of the way swiftly before it reached to hit me in the body.”

The actress's chances of survival: Fifty percent, considering the abstract character of the game and whether being hit by the object, or not volleying the ball back to the opponent, would be fatal. Also, it’s very gloomy in Pong — could she fall off the arena to her end? What does the empty space of the title affect a person?

The Filmmaker

Position: Rønning is the director of Tron: Ares. He furthermore directed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil.

The digital environment the director thinks he could make it through: Tomb Raider. “I am a kid of the ’80s, so I was into the retro system and the console, but the first game that captivated me was the first ever Tomb Raider on the system,” Joachim Rønning states. “Being a film enthusiast — it was the first experience that was so immersive, it was tactile. I'm not sure that's the title I would actually desire to be in, but that was my initial remarkable adventure, at least.”

The director's probability of success: 20%. If he was placed into a Tomb Raider world and had to contend with the wildlife and {booby traps
