Tron is an American science fiction media franchise created by Steven Lisberger and Bonnie MacBird, first introduced with the 1982 film Tron. The series primarily takes place within "the Grid", a series of digital virtual realities where computer programs exist as sentient entities. Many of these programs resemble their human creators, known as Users, and are often forced to compete in lethal gladiatorial contests. The title refers to the central character Tron, a self-governing security program designed to defend the Grid's system in the original film.
