During the protracted dogfight that ensues, Kevin and Rinzler catch sight of each other at close range, sparking Rinzler to remember his mission as Tron. Tron eventually shakes off the shackles of CLU's dominance altogether and turns his attack on Clu, allowing Kevin and his younger allies to escape.
Out of Sam's view, Kevin secretly switches his identity disc to Quorra. Upon reaching the portal they discover CLU has survived Tron's attack and finds his way to the portal before them. Kevin and CLU confront each other, with Kevin trying to explain that he's been wrong, and CLU still arguing in favor of system-wide perfection.
Then CLU attacks, sparking another brief conflict. With CLU blocking Kevin's way to the portal, and Sam and Quorra close to escaping, Clu turns to Kevin to retrieve his prize — the identity disc that will unlock the way to the real world. When CLU learns that Kevin in fact possesses Quorra's disc, he runs to the portal to stop the younger pair from escaping.
Although Sam tries to turn back for his father, Kevin insists that he'll go and take Quorra with him, hopeful that her existence will change the outside world. Kevin then taps his power to block Clu from reaching Sam and Quorra. Dragging Clu back by force of will, Kevin pulls the program back into himself in a bid to finally destroy it. Reintegrating Clu, Kevin sacrifices himself in order to save his son and Quorra. A huge blast erupts from the reintegration, consuming the portal and destroying the carrier ship that is drawing in close overhead.
Flynn is mentioned in the video game, Tron 2. Regardless of the actual duration of time that has passed for him, or how he "appears" while on the Grid, it would seem clear that Flynn has experienced a continual, conscious existence far exceeding that of any other human being in history. However, his appearance may be misleading—it is entirely possible that his appearance on the Grid is not subject to the normal, degenerative affects of aging as they would manifest in reality.
Several novel reasons might explain such discrepancies. Another possibility is that Flynn's appearance as an "old" program may simply be consistent with or required by the programming of the Grid itself, much as the also largely unexplored concept of "old" programs like Dumont in the original TRON. However, this possibility would seem negated by the appearance of other, "old" programs such as Clu and Quorra that appear to be quite young, even though they are similarly much "older" in Grid time.
Yet another possibility is that Flynn "ages" much as he would in reality, albeit at an effectively slower rate due to the time dilation between reality and the Grid. However, this would seem contradicted by the simple fact that, were a user's "real" body to be somehow micro-miniaturized and present on the Grid in a physical sense, their body would presumably age much faster than it would in reality.
Flynn's physical aging could simply be tied to the passage of time in the real world, or he simply chooses to look older. Note: The following calculations cannot account for the unknown amount of time Flynn spent on the Grid from the time of its creation, to when he became trapped there. Whatever length of time involved, could logically only add to the numbers estimated below. It should also be noted that the following calculations are supported by anecdotal comments from Disney marketing materials, but of course these should not necessarily be accepted as canon.
We begin with the passage of time itself, as it is measured in reality. Per the chronometer briefly visible on Kevin's console when Sam wipes dust from the touch panel and activates the computer, it would seem that the Grid has been running continuously for 20 years, 11 months, 20 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes, and 16 seconds.
Extrapolating from this, based on a few hints and possible references mentioned in the film: Depending on how one measures the passage of time on the Grid, it would seem that Flynn may have been in continual "existence" for more than 1, years perhaps much more , as he would have perceived it.
One hint of this is when Sam notes to his father that it has been a "long time" since they've seen each other, and Flynn replies, "You have no idea. While the interested observer is required to interpret certain references such as "cycle" and "millicycle" without guidance, we may yet have enough information from which to calculate an approximate "age" for Flynn. If we accept the relatively vague statement in the film of "hours on the Grid" seeming like "minutes back home", as a literal ratio of 1 hour on the Grid equating to one minute in reality a uniform ratio , the relative time dilation could be calculated as follows:.
This calculation would seem consistent with Castor's statement regarding Clu having sought out Flynn's identity disc for "1, cycles". This would again seem consistent with the earlier numbers already derived, especially when considering that Flynn and Clu were not always adversarial and so there would have been an unknown period of time during the creation of the Grid for which one must account.
However, the latter calculation would then demand one reevaluate the initial chronometer that Sam first encountered. Is the chronometer reflecting the real-world runtime of the Grid's entire existence? Or is it only the amount of time accounted for during Kevin Flynn's "current" presence on the Grid, as dated from the moment he was last inserted?
Or perhaps it is simply a screensaver indicator for the display panel? Permutations deriving from these considerations are likely beyond the scope of this article, but the interested observer should keep them in mind nonetheless. In addition, one must take into account the fact that Flynn's portal only remains open about eight hours, which puts a tangible limit on each of his visits to the Grid. If we use the assumption that Flynn's Grid time has been about 1, years, it would mean time is 50 times faster in the Grid than the real world.
The eight-hour limit would translate to Flynn being gone for about 10 minutes of real-world time when he is in the Grid. If the Grid was created in , and Flynn went there every night until the time he was trapped there, then his total real world time spent in the Grid would amount to only about 15 days, hardly enough to factor into any serious discussions about Flynn's aging.
While unlikely, it should be noted that yet another albeit novel possibility does exist: If the reference to a "millicycle" ended up equating to a millisecond as measured in reality, Kevin Flynn's continuity would approach a near-incomprehensible ,, years!
Disney Wiki Explore. Toy Story Monsters, Inc. Video Games. In , Kevin visited Alan Bradley and told him he had made breakthroughs in genetic algorithms and quantum teleportation that could lead to changes in science, medicine and religion. Alan didn't give much consideration to the claims, attributing them to his friend's eccentric nature. The following day, he disappeared under what the general public considered mysterious circumstances, leaving Bradley to take his place as an interim CEO at ENCOM until the company's profits fell and Alan was forced to step down.
The company's new leadership laid off several longtime employees and veered away from the open-source philosophies Flynn espoused. This upset Alan, who believed Flynn was alive and would eventually be found. Alan was partially correct. Kevin had become trapped in the grid following a surprise attack by the now-renegade Clu, who had come to see the ISOs as an imperfection within the system.
Tron was able to distract Clu enough to allow Flynn to escape, but Flynn was unable to return to the portal between the Grid and the outside world. With the closing of the portal, which was only capable of being opened from the outside, Flynn was trapped.
Now in exile in the system he had created, Flynn attempted to lead a counterattack against Clu's rule. Since the two were connected, however, Flynn's resistance only provided Clu with more power, and it became evident that the only way Flynn could stop Clu was to reintegrate him, an act that would destroy them both.
Clu continued his genocide against the ISOs, until only one remained. One of Flynn's last surviving and loyal monitor programs, Anon , sacrificed himself to assist Flynn in rescuing her.
Realizing he could not defeat Clu without killing himself, Flynn remained in exile, training Quorra while adopting a Zen lifestyle in a quest for inner peace to come to grips with what he considered his personal failure in allowing Clu to control the Grid and subvert his dream. After two decades of living in exile in the Outlands, Flynn was surprised out of his meditations by Quorra bringing a guest to him.
His now-adult son Sam had been lured into the system and captured by Clu's forces, later to be rescued by Quorra, and now stood before him. During their reunion Kevin told the story of Clu's betrayal and how Sam's arrival had opened the portal again for a millicycle about 8 hours. When Sam suggested that they leave for the portal, Kevin disagreed.
The elder Flynn knew that such a move would play into Clu's plan and insisted that remaining in hiding was the safest option. With the dispute still unresolved, father and son retired for the night. Kevin had no choice but to follow his son.
Kevin and Quorra intervened, however Quorra was left critically injured, and worse; Kevin's own identity disc was snatched from his back as they fled. Pondering their options, Kevin decided that Sam's earlier idea of racing for the portal would have the best merits, and so he and Sam stole aboard a Solar Sailer that was headed in the direction of the portal. Once on board, Kevin set about repairing the damage to Quorra's code. He spoke at length of the complexity of the code, explaining Quorra's status as the last of the ISOs.
He also used the opportunity to exchange stories of the years that he had been unable to spend with his son. The journey to the portal was cut short however, when their transport docked with a huge Carrier Ship that had unexpectedly appeared in their path. They hid and watched as hundreds of programs were unloaded into the bowels of this colossal craft.
Clu's plan to create an invasion force soon became apparent. Before they could do anything more, they saw Rinzler moving towards them.
Quorra handed her identity disc to Kevin and broke from cover in a bid to lead Rinzler away. Kevin recognized Rinzler as Tron, corrupted into serving Clu. Helpless to aid Quorra, Kevin and Sam retreated to formulate a new plan. Sam would recover his father's identity disc, while Kevin procured a Light Jet fast enough to escape in. Kevin was relieved when they rendezvoused at the captured Light Jet, that Sam had also rescued Quorra along the way.
The trio were making good progress in escaping to the portal when they found themselves pursued by Clu, Rinzler and a quartet of Black Guards in small personal Light Jets of their own. During the protracted dogfight that ensued, Kevin and Rinzler caught sight of each other at close range, sparking Rinzler to remember his mission as Tron.
Tron eventually shook off the shackles of Clu's dominance altogether and turned his attack on Clu, allowing Kevin and his younger allies to escape. Out of Sam's view, Kevin secretly switched his identity disc to Quorra. Upon reaching the portal they discovered Clu had survived Tron's attack and found his way to the portal before them. Kevin and Clu confronted each other, with Kevin trying to explain that he'd been wrong, and Clu still arguing in favor of system-wide perfection.
Then Clu attacked, sparking another brief conflict. While she is alive and well, despite the alternate canon created in the Tron 2. With Boxleitner being a potential no-show for another sequel, fans are probably questioning whether or not Lora will finally make her cinematic return with a third Tron film. Though, speaking of reviving the threads left open by Tron…. We may never get the answers to these and many other questions that Tron: Legacy has left the door open to.
