Tron 2 Plot Synopsis And New Title

By Josh Tyler: 2008-11-30 19:02:48

When Disney debuted test footage from their impending, long-awaited sequel to Tron at Comic Con, it came with the rather lame title of Tr2n. The good news is that it seems they’ve come to their senses and decided to call it something else. The bad news is that they’re calling it TRZ.

At least I sort of knew what Tr2n meant. You see that and you think, “oh they’re making a Tron sequel and they’ve given it a horrible, MySpace/Text Speak title”. When you see TRZ on a billboard, you’ll have absolutely no idea what it means. Well done Disney, you’ve accomplished something truly incredible. You’ve made the title worse. Luckily, there’s still plenty of time to change the title again.

The new title comes courtesy of the latest, jam-packed edition of Production Weekly, where they also have a brief plot synopsis for the film. Here’s what they think it will be about: “After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder (Tron), a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity.”

Read that synopsis carefully and you’ll get a few important clues as to what TRZ may be about. In the first movie a programmer named Flynn (Jeff Bridges) is sucked inside the computer to be destroyed. In the sequel, it sounds like the computer is bringing a programmer inside to help defend it. The test footage from Comic Con hinted at the possibility that Jeff Bridges might be playing the bad guy, an evil computer entity in the sequel. If that’s the case, it might actually make sense for a digitized Flynn, once a computer programmer himself, to bring in another programmer to aid him in fighting off rebels led by his once friend, Tron. The title may be awful, but as a story this is really starting to sound good.

I'm not sure this plot makes sense with Bridges being the bad guy. Tron was Bruce Boxleitner's character in the original. If it was Alan Bradley/Tron that was the bad guy, then it would make sense.

Now if real-world Flynn had become corrupt (not unlike the David Warner character in the first film) and it was a digitized "Hero" Flynn from the original that was enlisting the help of an outside programmer, that would make sense and would be cool. Then we could get Jeff Bridges as the good guy AND the bad guy.

How about calling it Reboot........no wait that's already been done. In reading this synopsis, seems like this will be reboot and Jeff Bridges is Megabyte and the programmer will play BOB. This could be a way better plotline.

I do hope they bring back Jeff Bridges, and the name "TRZ" sounds like the magazine entertainment show "TMZ", so calling it "TRZ" is just stupid, and many people won't understand what it means, therefore the movie flops.

Just call it "Tron 2: Mainframe Intruders", or something like that. "TR2N" is okay as well. They need to make this movie twice as good as the original, or the movie will just bomb, or just directly release it to DVD and Blu-Ray.

I like the Tr2n movie title too.
I agree that TRZ is hard follow.
