Synopsis

Beck is a young program who becomes the skillful leader of a revolution inside the computer world of The Grid. His mission is to free his home and friends from the reign of the villainous Clu and his henchman General Tesler. Beck will be trained by Tron - the greatest warrior the Grid has ever known. Tron will not only teach Beck the fighting and light cycle skills he needs to challenge this brutal military occupation, but he will be a guide and mentor to him as he grows beyond his youthful, impulsive nature into a courageous, powerful, strong leader. Destined to become the next Tron of the system, Beck adopts Tron's persona and becomes the archenemy of General Tesler and his oppressive forces.

Cast and characters

Main characters

Beck (voiced by Elijah Wood) – The main protagonist of the series. Beck is a young program who leads a revolution against Clu. He is trained by Tron and he challenges the evil forces of Tesler and Clu. Beck is referred by the public as "Tron" and "the Renegade."

Tron (voiced by Bruce Boxleitner) – The original protector of the Grid, Tron was supposedly killed by Clu; however, Tron survived that battle with injuries. Unable to protect the Grid, Tron sought out a new protector and found Beck, whom he vowed to train.

Mara (voiced by Mandy Moore) – A co-worker and one of Beck's friends at Able's Garage.

Paige (voiced by Emmanuelle Chriqui) – A young program who is one of Tesler's field commanders. While hardened and dedicated, she is less antagonistic than Tesler and takes a personal interest in the new "Tron".

Zed (voiced by Nate Corddry) – A co-worker and friend of Beck's at Able's Garage.

General Tesler (voiced by Lance Henriksen) – The main antagonist of the series. He is Clu's henchman, and Beck's archenemy.

The Grid (voiced by Tricia Helfer) – The main setting of the Tron universe.

Recurring characters

Cutler (voiced by Lance Reddick) – A veteran of the Isomorphic Algorithm (ISO) wars. He fought for the ISOs and wore an armband as a sign of his past. Cutler went to Argon City after hearing about the "Renegade".

Quorra (voiced by Olivia Wilde) – The last surviving ISO.

Perl (voiced by Kate Mara) – A criminal, who only has a desire for anything valuable. After having lured Zed into bringing her into Able's Garage, she stole the ENCOM 786 lightcycle. However, Perl is later arrested by Paige.

Dyson (voiced by John Glover) – A former friend turned traitor of Tron. Dyson betrayed Tron by joining Clu's army.

Production

In December 2010, it was announced that Elijah Wood, Bruce Boxleitner, Lance Henriksen, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Mandy Moore, Paul Reubens, Nate Corddry and Reginald VelJohnson would voice characters in a television series based on the Tron franchise, titled Tron: Uprising. The series features an animation style that mixes 2D animation and CGI animation. The look of the series was inspired by Star Wars: The Clone Wars, ThunderCats, and Aeon Flux.
