In a conversation between Jared Leto and Jeff Bridges, they remember their first day of filming, among other discussions. “I remember putting on the suit,” says Bridges. “I don’t think we knew each other, but we had a scary time“. Jared Leto defines himself as “a superfan of the first two films, so participating in the third was something surreal: now I put on the suit and enter the Internet.”

TRON: Ares tells us the story of Ares, a highly sophisticated program that is transported from the digital world to our reality on a highly dangerous mission, and also marking a historical event: the encounter between people with artificial intelligence beings.
