Tron: Ares ending explained - Does Ares use the permanence code? Where is Sam Flynn, and what does it mean for the future of the Grid?

Tron: Ares.

Tron: Ares is out now on the big screen, 15 years after we last logged onto the Grid in 2010's Tron: Legacy. In the threequel, Jared Leto plays AI supersoldier Ares, who's brought out of the Grid and into the real world by tech-CEO-turned-arms-dealer Julian Dillinger (Evan Peters). However, Julian doesn't account for Ares developing a mind of his own – and teaming up with rival tech mogul Eve Kim (Greta Lee), Kevin Flynn's successor at ENCOM.

Like any Tron movie, there's a lot to wrap your head around in Ares. The world of programs and users is a complex one, after all, and we can't all be tech whizzes. That being said, we've done our best to give you a complete guide to the Tron: Ares ending explained right, as we recap the movie's final act and endeavour to break down all your biggest questions about the sci-fi sequel.
