Synopsis

[edit]

Beck is a young, anthropomorphized computer program who becomes the leader of arevolution inside the computer world of the Grid against the villainous Clu and his henchmen. A mechanic, he is trained by Tron, the greatest warrior the Grid has ever known. Tron not only trains Beck in the fighting and light cycle-riding skills necessary to challenge the brutal military occupation of the city of Argon, but also guides and mentors him to grow beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous and powerful leader. Beck adopts Tron's persona and becomes the enemy of General Tesler and his oppressive forces.[6][7]

Characters

[edit]

Mains

[edit]
  • Beck (voiced byElijah Wood) is theprotagonist of the series. Beck is a young program who leads a revolution against Clu. He is trained by Tron and he challenges the evil forces of Tesler and Clu. Beck is referred to by the public as "Tron" and "the Renegade".
  • Tron (voiced byBruce Boxleitner) is the original protector of the Grid, Tron was supposedly killed by Clu. However, Tron survived that battle with injuries. Unable to protect the Grid, Tron sought out a new protector and found Beck, whom he vowed to train. In "Scars", it is revealed Dyson also scarred the left side of his face. He is later fully healed in "Terminal"
  • Mara (voiced byMandy Moore) is a co-worker and one of Beck's friends at Able's Garage. Saved early in the series by Beck, Mara becomes one of the most dedicated, and optimistic believers in Tron's return and the Renegade's actions, often supporting him openly and questioning the official news reports painting the Renegade as a terrorist.
  • Zed (voiced byNate Corddry) is a co-worker and friend of Beck's at Able's Garage. Due to his long-standing romantic interest in Mara, Zed becomes jealous of her fanatical support of the Renegade and becomes opposed to the extreme actions being taken against the established regime. Beck often makes this worse by taking advantage of Zed while acting as the Renegade, reinforcing Zed's ill-feelings.
  • General Tesler (voiced byLance Henriksen) is Clu's henchman and the mainantagonist of the series. Tesler was originally tasked with eliminating rumours of Tron's survival and suppressing reports of Tron's return. He rarely participates in action directly, but when he does has shown himself to be a capable combatant and tactician.
  • Paige (voiced byEmmanuelle Chriqui) is a young program who is one of Tesler's field commanders. While hardened and dedicated, she is less antagonistic than Tesler and takes a personal interest in the new "Tron". Originally a medical program, Paige volunteered to be reformatted as a soldier after surviving what she believed to be an ISO attack, unaware that the killings she witnessed were done under Tesler's orders.
  • Able (voiced byReginald VelJohnson) is the owner of Able's Garage (which is the best repair shop in Argon City). Able is fully aware that Tron is still alive, and is one of the first to discover Beck's double life. While not openly supporting Beck, Able often allows him leeway from his regular duties and covers for Beck's absences from work. In "No Bounds", he is killed by Cyrus, when the bomb he took off of Zed and Mara got reactivated.
  • Pavel (voiced byPaul Reubens) is Tesler's second-in-command. Although Pavel has been with Tesler far longer than Paige, his sadistic tendencies and lack of finesse often leads to Paige being given duties which require a more positive public image. This has led Pavel's loyalty to Tesler to be stretched, as well as damaging his working relationship with Paige.
  • The Grid (voiced byTricia Helfer) is the unique main setting of theTron universe.

Recurring

[edit]
  • Clu (voiced byFred Tatasciore) is the updated version of the original Clu from the original Grid, he was created by Kevin Flynn (the creator of the Grid). Clu betrayed Flynn and Tron, thentook over the Grid.
    • Tatasciore also voices Kevin Flynn (Clu's original user) in episode 9 "Scars Part 1".
  • Bartik (voiced byDonald Faison) is a program who joined a task force formed by Paige to hunt down the Renegade. He and his friend Hopper are shown sometimes picking on Zed and some of the workers. In "Terminal", he and Hopper later decided to switch sides and protect the Renegade after witnessing the workers stand up to Pavel.
  • Hopper (voiced byPaul Scheer) is a program who joined a task force formed by Paige to hunt down the Renegade. He is Bartik's friend, like Bartik, he sometimes picks on Zed and some of the workers. In "Terminal", he and Bartik later decided to switch sides and protect the Renegade after witnessing the workers stand up to Pavel.
  • Dyson (voiced byJohn Glover) is a former friend turned traitor of Tron. Dyson betrayed Tron by joining Clu's army and he is now Clu's highest and most dangerous operative.
  • Perl (voiced byKate Mara) is a female member of a criminal gang who lures Zed into bringing her into Able's Garage, where she stole the ENCOM 786 lightcycle. She was later arrested by Paige.
  • Cyrus (voiced byAaron Paul) is Tron's first official Renegade. After Tron was beaten by Dyson, Cyrus stepped in to save Tron. Cyrus then became the first "Renegade" before Beck. However, he believed that in order to free the grid, he should destroy it. Tron, upset that Cyrus saw things differently, imprisoned Cyrus in a crack in the grid, provided by Able. Cyrus then meets up with Beck and explains that he is the first renegade. Cyrus used Beck, along with himself, as battery power to thereby "freeing" the programs oppressed by Clu. He broke out of the compressed space, but fell back when Beck broke free. However, Cyrus escaped and caused havoc as the Renegade, blaming his crimes on Beck.
  • Keller (voiced byMarcia Gay Harden) is a scientific program initially employed by Tesler to brainwash the programs of Argon City into obeying Clu. When she witnesses the brutality of Tesler's regime and her brainwashing device is destroyed by the Renegade, she flees the city, pursued by Beck and Paige.
  • Cutler (voiced byLance Reddick) is a veteran of theIsomorphic Algorithm (ISO) wars. He fought for the ISOs and wore an armband as a sign of his past. Cutler went to Argon City after hearing about the "Renegade". He returns in "Terminal", where it is revealed he was captured and repurposed by Clu.
  • Quorra (voiced byOlivia Wilde) is the last surviving ISO.[8]
  • Link (voiced byDavid Arquette) is a minor character who often appears in the background in major key events. He is a mechanic who works in Able's garage, and friend of Beck and Mara. He is quiet, and rather clumsy, causing accidents and irritation among his workplace. He is often ignored by his peers, and given menial tasks much to his frustration. He was once approached by Pavel, who easily manipulated him to falsely testify the identity of the "Renegade" in exchange for a vehicle. Despite this, he has shown admiration for the "Renegade", and is seen among the rebellion in the final episode.
  • Gorn (voiced byKathryn Hunter) is a technician operating in Purgos, Argon City's ghetto. She specializes in erasing or modifying memories of various programs, and is often tasked with this by Pavel when he orchestrates a frame-up. Ultimately, she is herself mutilated and rendered mute in order to keep silent about Pavel's schemes.
