Overview

• The third Tron installment arrives in theaters on October 10, positioned as a soft reboot set largely in the real world.
• Early reviews broadly applaud the film’s technical spectacle and production design but criticize thin plotting, underdeveloped characters and limited emotional impact.
• The soundtrack is composed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, credited as Nine Inch Nails for the first time on a film, with the duo also reported as executive producers and making a brief onscreen appearance.
• At the Hollywood world premiere, Nine Inch Nails performed four songs outside the TCL Chinese Theatre, including live debuts of Forked Reality and Shadow Over Me, after a set by collaborator Boys Noize.
• The story centers on rival efforts to secure a ‘permanence code’ tied to AI-created entities, with Jared Leto, Greta Lee and Evan Peters leading the cast under director Joachim Rønning.
