Steven Lisberger's iconic 1982 movie Tron primarily takes place within the virtual realm inside digital games, where digital beings, depicted as human-like figures in neon-streaked attire, compete on the virtual landscape in lethal games. The characters are brutally eliminated (or “derezzed”) in the Disc Arena and smashed by energy barriers in digital vehicle conflicts. The filmmaker's 2010 follow-up Tron: Legacy goes back inside the virtual domain for further vehicle combat and additional combat on the virtual world.

The filmmaker's Legacy sequel Tron: Ares adopts a somewhat lesser interactive approach. In the picture, digital entities still fight each other for survival on the digital world, but mainly in high-stakes battles over classified files, serving as avatars for their business creators. Security programs and hacking tools engage on ENCOM servers, and in the physical world, Recognizers and digital motorcycles exported from the virtual world behave as they do in the digital environment.

The soldier software the protagonist (the star) is a further modern creation: a advanced warrior who can be infinitely 3D reprinted to fight wars in the physical realm. But would the flesh-and-blood actor have the real-world abilities to survive if he was pulled into one of the virtual world's contests? During a recent interview session, stars and directors of Tron: Ares were asked what digital environments they would be most inclined to make it through. Below are their answers — but we also offer our own judgments about their capabilities to endure inside simulated environments.

The Actress

Role: In Tron: Ares, Lee portrays the CEO, the leader of ENCOM, who is preoccupied from her leadership tasks as she attempts to retrieve the “permanence code” believed to be remaining by the original character (the actor).

The game Lee believes she could survive in: “My kids are extremely into Minecraft,” she states. “I would never want them to know this, but [Minecraft] is so amazing, the realms that they build. I think I would prefer to enter one of the realms that they've made. My little one has designed this one with creatures — it's just stocked with feathered friends, because he adores parrots.”

Greta Lee's likelihood of survival: A high percentage. If Lee simply stays with her kids’ parrots, she's safe. But it's uncertain whether she understands how to evade or contend with a Creeper.

The Star

Part: Peters embodies the rival, the leader of opposing corporation the business and grandson of the founder (the actor) from the first Tron.

The game Evan Peters feels he could endure in: “I would certainly lose in the [Disc Arena],” he stated. “I would go into BioShock.” Clarifying that reply to colleague the star, he says, “It is such a great game, it’s the best. BioShock, Fallout 3 and 4, amazing post-apocalyptic worlds in the franchise, and the game is an hidden, decrepit nightmare.” Did he even grasp the query? Unclear.

Peters’ likelihood of endurance: In BioShock? A low chance, like any other normal human's chances in Rapture. In any of the Fallout series? 10%, solely based on his charm score.

The Actress

Character: Anderson portrays Elisabeth Dillinger, mother to the character and daughter to Ed. She’s the ex CEO of the corporation, and a more rational director than Julian.

The digital environment the actress believes she could endure in: “Pong,” stated Anderson, regardless of her evident familiarity with the game Myst and her supporting part in the 1998's participatory digital disc The X-Files Game. “That is as advanced as I could manage. It would take so much time for the [ball] to arrive that I could dodge out of the way quickly before it came to hit me in the body.”

Gillian Anderson's probability of success: Fifty percent, based on the abstract nature of the title and whether being hit by the pixel, or not volleying the object back to the other player, would be lethal. Additionally, it’s extremely dark in Pong — could she tumble from the platform to her end? What does the dark abyss of Pong do to a person?

The Director

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

The virtual world the director feels he could endure in: Tomb Raider. “I'm a youngster of the ’80s, so I was into the retro system and the Atari, but the initial experience that influenced me was the very first Tomb Raider on the console,” he says. “As a cinema buff — it was the initial game that was so engaging, it was tactile. I'm uncertain that's the environment I would really like to be in, but that was my initial incredible experience, at least.”

Joachim Rønning's likelihood of survival: Twenty percent. If Joachim Rønning was placed into a Lara Croft title and had to face the wildlife and {booby traps
