TRON: Ares

Right now you can watch TRON: Ares in Australia on Disney Plus, and in the US on Disney Plus — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. 1,497 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Jared Leto — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight on Disney Plus and see for yourself.

TRON: Ares is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. TRON: Ares treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. A highly sophisticated Program called Ares is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind's first encounter with A.I. Beings. Jared Leto and Greta Lee lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It hit screens in 2025. The world-building is meticulous enough to sustain multiple rewatches, with details early on that only make sense later. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Viewers burned by ambitious sci-fi that could not sustain its premise should give TRON: Ares a chance. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Short enough to finish in one sitting, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Watch for Jared Leto in particular — the performance elevates the material. Satisfying on multiple levels.
