Disney’s highly anticipated TRON: Ares is set to release in Indian theatres on October 10, 2025, continuing one of cinema’s most visually groundbreaking franchises. The film, starring Jared Leto as the titular Ares, marks a bold new direction for the series. This time, the story moves beyond the digital realm into the real world, introducing humanity’s first encounter with an advanced AI being. The new instalment follows the legacy of two earlier TRON films that redefined visual storytelling and futuristic world-building.
All you need to know about TRON saga
Ahead of Ares’ release, fans and newcomers can revisit the first two parts of the franchise on JioHotstar. The 1982 original TRON and its 2010 sequel TRON: Legacy are now streaming in India, allowing viewers to dive back into the neon-lit world of the Grid.
For the unversed, the TRON saga began in 1982 with Steven Lisberger’s cult classic, which was among the first films to combine live-action with computer-generated imagery. Nearly three decades later, TRON: Legacy (2010) expanded the universe with modern visual effects and 3D storytelling, grossing over $400 million worldwide. Now, after a 15-year wait, TRON: Ares flips the script, sending a program into the human world instead of the other way around.
More about TRON: Ares
Directed by Joachim Rønning, TRON: Ares brings together a star-studded cast that includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, and Jeff Bridges, who reprises his role as the legendary Kevin Flynn. The film is produced by Sean Bailey, Jeffrey Silver, Justin Springer, Jared Leto, Emma Ludbrook, and TRON creator Steven Lisberger, with Russell Allen serving as executive producer.
The film’s trailer has already created buzz for featuring a brand-new track, “As Alive As You Need Me To Be”, composed by Grammy-winning industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails. The band is also behind the film’s entire score, continuing the franchise’s tradition of pairing its digital visuals with powerful, genre-defining music, following in the footsteps of Daft Punk’s celebrated work on TRON: Legacy.
As Disney’s next major sci-fi release, TRON: Ares is poised to explore deeper questions about artificial intelligence, consciousness, and coexistence in an era where the line between humans and machines is rapidly blurring. Are you excited to watch it?
