Outline

Filling in the backstory between Tron (1982) and Tron: Legacy (2010), Tron: The Next Day chronicles the “Flynn Lives” viral campaign and the 1989 massive movement that followed the unexplained disappearance of ENCOM’s brilliant computer programmer, Kevin Flynn.

In addition – as the featurette bridges the years between the two films up to Sam Flynn’s return – TRON’s creator, Alan Bradley, pays a visit to an old friend, making a sweet offer he can not refuse.
