Overview

• Disney’s third Tron film arrives in theaters on Friday, Oct. 10, with IMAX and large‑format presentation emphasized in marketing and reviews.
• Early critics widely applaud the visual spectacle and Nine Inch Nails’ propulsive score, while many describe the script and character work as thin.
• Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composed the music under the Nine Inch Nails name, marking the band’s first film soundtrack credited as NIN.
• Reviewers highlight a real‑world lightcycle chase and a narrative built around rival tech firms, a corporeal Program named Ares, and a sought‑after “permanence code” that lifts a 29‑minute time limit on Grid creations.
• At Monday’s world premiere outside TCL Chinese Theatre, Reznor and Ross performed selections including live debuts of “Forked Reality” and “Shadow Over Me.”
