    • 3 Pages

    Although the story line is different and new characters are involved, the similarities between Tron and Tron: Legacy are undeniable. The original Tron was released in 1982 and is about a computer hacker Kevin Flynn who was formally an employee of ENCOM. Kevin now runs an arcade and is trying to prove that the five video games he created were stolen by ENCOM’s now senior executive Ed Dillinger. While trying to find evidence Kevin is sucked into ENCOM’s computer where the Master Control is the dictator in the digital world. Inside Kevin teams up with Tron (a security computer program written by Alan Bradley) and Yori (a program written by Lora Baines and Tron’s lover) to destroy the master control program and prove that Ed Dillinger stole the games. Tron: Legacy continues on from the story. During this film Sam Flynn (Kevin Flynn’s son) loses his dad early in life to “The Grid”. Sam responds to a message received from his lost father and is sucked into the grid. Sam is put to the test with various games and is nearly killed by Clu (A program Kevin created to make the perfect world), but Quorra (Kevin’s apprentice) saved Sam and brought him back to Kevin’s place.

After having a little background we can focus on the main similarities that occur such as the Hero’s Journey analysis. The call to adventure in both films include both Kevin Flynn and Alan…
