CUT TO:

405 POV - THE DISK 405

It is glowing with a new power. Superimposed on its surface is a

complex mandala pattern, changing kaleidoscopically as we watch,

shifting swirling liquid color.

CUT TO:

406 OMIT 406

407 THE DOOR 407

Almost gone. We can hear the voices of Sark's men outside.

YORI (V.0.)

Dumont! The door...

408 YORI 408

turning back to Dumont. Behind Dumont stands Tron, framed in the

entry to the Communication chamber.

409 OMIT 409

410 SHOT OF DUMONT 410

He is rising from the altar, the rest of his body emerging from the

neon steps, until he is standing in front of Tron. We see that he

has on a floor-length robe with huge shoulder pads forming

winglike supports for the fabric.

DUMONT:

I have waited for this moment many

thousands of cycles. It is time for the

new order to begin... The Users are

waiting.

As we watch, Tron comes forward, and grips Dumont's shoulder briefly.

Then he holds out his hand to Yori.

411 LONG SHOT as Yori steps forward up the steps. 411

CUT TO:

412 EXT. CHAMBER - THE DOOR 412

We see it is almost transparent, and as we watch, there is a burst

of energy and the door disappears into thousands of sparkling dots

of light.

CUT TO:

413 INT. CHAMBER - THE DOOR 413

It dissolves completely. Framed in the center of the opening, stands

Sark.

SARK:

(pointing)

Dumont!

The blue warriors race by him, pouring into the chamber.

CUT TO:

414 FULL SHOT - CHAMBER 414

We see Dumont standing on the top of the steps, no sign of Tron and

Yori. The guards spread out through the room, Sark strides towards

Dumont.

SARK:

Where's the program?

DUMONT:

(dotty-old-man act)

Program? I'm sure you're mistaken.

414A CLOSE SHOT - SARK414

furious.

SARK:

Take him!!!

415 EXT. SIMULATION HANGAR415

As we see Tron and Yori racing through the streets, headed for it.

416 INT. HANGAR416

Tron and Yori enter. Solar Sailer simulation hovers.

417 A LONG SHOT417

As Tron and Yori race across the floor.

YORI (V.0.)

This way...there's a simulation

we can use...

And we see them race towards it.

418 SHOT OF THEM RISING ON AN ELEVATOR PLATFORM, FROM 419

ABOVE, LOOKING DOWN AT THEM.

419 A SHOT FROM THE SIDE OF THE SAILER, RISING WITH TRON419

AND YORI:

We see that this vessel is a simulation of a futuristic spacecraft,

designed for travel in the Real world using solar energy, with an

enormous metallic sail to catch the rays of sunlight like wind, and

move with the speed of light. The sail is at the bow of the craft,

and a long, slender walkway connects it with the deck area, which is

made up of several connected flattened box-shapes, giving it the

look of a dragonfly. In this world, the Sailer catches data

transmission beams instead of sunlight, and is propelled along the

information paths to the Central Processing Unit.

TRON V.O.

Can it carry us?

YORI V.0.

The design is good... We don't know

why the User abandoned the project...

The elevator platform brings Tron and Yori through the center,

forming part of the deck as it reaches a level position, locked

into place.

420 SHOT OF THEM FROM THE LONG WALKWAY, FACING THE STERN420

We see Yori bending over a console of touch panels.

YORI:

Yes...it can take us across the

Sea of Simulation... all the way

out of the Game Grid...to the MCP.

TRON:

(looking out

of hangar)

As long as it gets us out of here

421 EXT. HANGAR421

The crowd of Sark's men are racing towards it.

CUT TO:

422 EXT. SOLAR SAILER DECK - TRON AND YORI 422

Bending over the console, from the POV of the sail. As we watch, a

head leans into the frame from the right. A memory guard. Then we

see a hand gripping a staff, and the legs of another guard on the

left.

CUT TO:

423 THE TWO OF THEM FROM A LOW ANGLE423

On the console, as Yori leans over it. We see that she is looking at

a map of the system, a flat grid, and on it, in miniature, are the

beam transfer points and transmission location.

CUT TO:

424 THE TWO GUARDS, CREEPING DOWN THE WALKWAY424

silently. We can see Tron's back as he hears a noise. His head snaps

up; he sees the guards.

TRON:

Yori! Get down!

425 THE GUARDS 425

Abandoning any attempt at silence, leap forward, shouting, thrusting

their staffs at Tron.

CUT TO:

426 A LOW ANGLE, AS TRON KICKS THE FIRST GUARD BACK426

and slashes the second across the face, knocking him out.

CUT TO:

427 EXT. ENTRANCE TO THE HANGAR427

As Sark's men rush in and head for the stairs to the catwalks that

ring the hangar walls. They start swarming up.

CUT TO:

428 TRON 428

reacting, holding his disk ready.

CUT TO:

429 OMITTED429

430 WALKWAY OF SAILER430

as guards start swarming on board. We see Tron move forward and then

stop, letting them come.

CUT TO:

431 YORI'S POV - LONG SHOT431

looking down at the walkway. Beyond it we can see the great door

starting to rise.

432 TRON 432

throwing his disk. It smashes into the guards in front, tossing them

backwards.

CUT TO:

433 A SHOT FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE HANGAR 433

The great door is almost all the way up. We can see the Sail with

its tip ready to emerge. Below, on the ground, more guards are

racing towards the hangar.

434 TRON 434

Beating back the guards, tossing them over the side of the walkway.

We see one last guard standing on top of the bunker that forms the

connection of the craft to the sail. Tron advances on him... the

guard stares at him, then looks down... then jumps off, intimidated.

There's a sudden lurch forward, and Tron is thrown back, losing

his balance.

435 YORI 435

smiling.

YORI:

We're off!

436 EXT. HANGAR436

The transmission beam is flowing, passing directly through the craft,

from behind, hitting the sail bunker, and passing through, so that

it looks like a headlight. The Sailer starts moving, fast,

accelerating so that it reaches a tremendous velocity in a matter of

seconds.

437 EXT. AIRCRAFT CARRIER - BRIDGE - SARK & MCP 437

Back on the bridge of the carrier, Sark is in the MCP hologram. In

front of him, we see a view of the city below, and the hangar, and

the Solar Sailer -- racing away.

MCP:

I hope you've enjoyed being a command

program, Sark. I wonder how you'll like

working in a pocket calculator... maybe

one of those watches that plays "Happy

Birthday" to its User once a year.

SARK:

Now, sir... We did take care of that

User you sent us --

MCP:

Yes, and now you've got two renegade

programs running all the hell over the

system in a stolen simulation.

SARK:

We'll get them, sir... These things

take time.

MCP:

I don't have time, Sark. And neither

do you. End of line.

438-439 OMIT 438-439

440 SOLAR SAILER - WALKWAY - TRON 440

from the stern. Tron picks himself up from the floor where he was

thrown when the Sailer took off, and heads for Yori (at the camera).

He stops, seeing something.

YORI V.O.

Tron, are you all right?

Tron waves at her... then...

441 CLOSE SHOT FROM IN FRONT OF TRON441

He looks over at the guard rail.
