Tron Page #9

SARK:

Kill him!!!

Flynn holds up the pellet... and drops it down into the abyss below.

He stares back up at Sark's immense image.

FLYNN:

No!

206 SARK'S HUGE REFLECTED IMAGE206

in the mirror platform, towering above Flynn.

SARK:

You'll regret this.

207 SARK'S FINGER 207

pressing a button.

208 CROM 208

The ring he is holding on to dissolves, and with a SCREAM, he

falls... and falls ... and falls...

209 SHOT FROM BELOW FLYNN209

with Flynn visible, staring down, and the huge face of Sark above

him.

210 SARK 210

on the bridge. His finger wavers over another button, almost

presses it... We see him-straining, trying to overcome his

conditioning. Then he snatches his hand away.

SARK:

(looking up)

No! You said he could die in the games

211 FLYNN 211

staring up. The image on the mirror wavers and dissolves.

212 SARK 212

He SLAMS his palm down on a panel on the console, and a BUZZER

SOUNDS.

213 FLYNN 213

as the bridge to his platform reappears, and we see guards starting

to run across to him.

214 RAM AND TRON214

The sound of GUARDS' running feet approaching their cells. They look

up.

215 A CORRIDOR IN THE GAME AREA215

Flynn is being escorted down it. A couple of big Blue Warriors go by

and deliberately brush into Flynn.

WARRIOR:

(turning on Flynn,

snarling)

Outta my way, rookie.

Flynn stares at him; then, in one smooth motion, reaches to his back

and pulls out his disk.

FLYNN:

Out of my way, zero bit.

He moves as if to throw the disk.

WARRIOR:

(backing away)

Sure, sure ... just kiddin'.

The other warrior grabs this one by the arm and pulls him away as

Flynn and his guards continue on.

216 THE HOLDING AREA FOR THE LIGHT CYCLE GAME216

Ram and Tron are escorted in as Flynn is brought in from another

corridor. Three blue warriors are lined up, waiting.

RAM:

Flynn! Look, Tron, he survived!

FLYNN:

(under his breath)

Tron...?

He leans over to get a better look at Tron and GASPS in surprise.

FLYNN:

Alan!

TRON:

(frowning)

Where did you hear that name?

FLYNN:

Well, isn't it -- ?

TRON:

The name of my User, yeah. But how... ?

FLYNN:

(thinking fast)

I, uh... I'm a program from a User

that... knows Alan...?

RAM:

He was disoriented in transport, Tron.

FLYNN:

Yeah, but I'm remembering all kinds of

stuff. Like...my User wants me to go

after the MCP

Before they can go on, the BUZZER sounds.

CUT TO:

217 LONG SHOT OF THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER 217

floating over the Game Grid, with a view of the light cycle arena.

ZOOM IN on the section of the grid where the game is about to start.

218 A SHOT FROM ABOVE218

The three Blue Warriors are lined up facing our friends, on opposite

sides of the large arena, about a half mile square, surrounded by

high bulwarks, and surveyed by Recognizers. We can see the carrier

hovering high overhead.

219 CLOSE ON TRON 219

TRON:

That's what my User wants, too...

220 SHOT OF THE THREE FRIENDS 220

holding the handlebars of the cycles in front of them. We see Tron

and Ram looking at Flynn, in the center.

FLYNN:

I know...

221 CLOSE SHOT - FLYNN 221

With a sizzling electrical discharge, the light cycle is inscribed

around him.

222 SHOT OF THE THREE BLUE CYCLES 222

ready to go.

223 SHOT OF THE THREE CONSCRIPT CYCLES 223

also ready.

224 SARK 224

His finger presses a button and the BUZZER SOUNDS again.

225 SHOT FROM ABOVE OF ALL CYCLES TAKING OFF 225

We see the six solid walls being formed behind the cycles. As we

watch the outer four cycles veer off to either side, leaving Tron

and his opponent speeding suicidally at each other:

226 OMIT 226

227 TRON'S POV 227

of the other cycle heading straight at him.

228 SHOT FROM ABOVE 228

We see these two cycles come together and almost crash ... but both

turn at the last second to the same side and continue rushing

forward. The other cycles can be seen racing around the edge of the

arena.

FLYNN'S VOICE

(into mike)

Nice one!

229 SHOT OF TRON AND HIS OPPONENT 229

They start making turns, passing walls they have already created,

each trying to box the other in.

TRON'S VOICE

(into mike)

Ram, stay all the way over ...

230 CLOSE SHOT FROM THE SIDE - TRON230

rushing forward.

231 SHOT OF THE CYCLES 231

turning.

RAM'S VOICE

(into mike)

I've got control. Go ahead.

232 SHOT FROM IN FRONT OF TRON'S CYCLE 232

233 SHOT FROM ABOVE 233

They rush past a wall, headed directly for a bulwark at the end of

the arena. Tron is on one side, but the Blue Warrior is on the

inside. Tron forces the warrior to smash straight into the wall.

There is an explosion as the cycle de-rezzes, and a crack forms in

the bulwark. We see that the walls created by the de-rezzed warrior

dissolve as he does.

234 SHOT OF FLYNN 234

rushing alongside his opponent. They make a turn.

235 CLOSE UP OF FLYNN235

236 LONG SHOT 236

They make another turn

237 SHOT OF TWO CYCLES RUSHING237

right at the camera.

238 FLYNN'S POV238

of the maze of walls. He gets clear for a moment and spots the crack

in the bulwark.

239 CLOSE UP - HIS FACE 239

reacting, getting an idea.

FLYNN:

(into mike)

You guys...follow me.

240 SHOT OF THE TWO CYCLES240

racing together, approaching the bulwark. At the last second, the

Blue Warrior turns, but Flynn races right at the crack.

241 SARK 241

observing this. With satisfaction. Now he will be rid of the User.

242 FLYNN 242

He races straight at the crack... and through it.

243 SARK 243

His face suffused with anger. He SLAMS a fist down on the console

in front of him.

244 LONG SHOT OF THE GRID244

The remaining four cycles are still racing around the arena.

245 CLOSE UP - TRON 245

reacting to Flynn's escape, hope in his eyes.

246 ANGLE ON RAM246

SMASHING another one of the Blue Warriors against a wall. He turns

and races up next to Tron.

247 SHOT OF THEM247

side by side. They look at each other.

RAM:

(into mike)

What do you think?

TRON:

(into mike)

Do it!

248 LONG SHOT 248

We see their cycles veer off and head straight for the crack. We

HEAR a LOUD SIREN and a mechanical voice starts up:

VOICE:

(through loudspeaker)

WARRIORS MUST STAY WITHIN THE GAME GRID.

REPEAT:
ALL WARRIORS MUST STAY WITHIN THE

GAME GRID. WARNING. WARNING.

We continue to hear this voice repeating under the escape, gradually

diminishing as the three friends get farther away, until it dies

out altogether.

249 SHOT OF TWO RECOGNIZERS 249

moving towards the dividing bulwark, passing over it.

250 SHOT OF THE THREE ESCAPING CYCLES 250

racing through the narrow crack in the bulwark, barely enough room

to get by. They emerge into an open corridor, with the Recognizers

appearing overhead. We watch the cycles rush past the CAMERA...

251 SARK 251

He is pacing across the bridge of the carrier, smashing guards out

of his way.

SARK:

Get them. Send out every Game

Tank in the Grid! Get them!

252 SHOT FROM BELOW FLYNN252

as he looks up and spots the Recognizers hovering over them, about

to come down for the kill.

FLYNN:

(into mike)

Watch it!
