History: SPOILER WARNING for Tron: Evolution and Tron: Legacy. (Statute of limitations is up on spoilers for Tron, though. :P)

1982:

• Flynn: has a PhD in computer science from Caltech, is a hotshot video game programmer for software giant ENCOM, and owns a video arcade called, creatively, Flynn's.
  
• His ideas are stolen by a competing ENCOM employee, Dillinger. Dillinger installed a program on the ENCOM mainframe that copied Flynn's code, and he took credit for it.
  
• Dillinger is promoted to VP and has Flynn fired.
  
• Flynn tries to hack ENCOM's mainframe to prove Dillinger had stolen his code (because two wrongs make a right, obviously) using a hacking program called a Codified Likeness Utility (CLU).
  
• Gets totally busted by the administrative Master Control Program (MCP) on the mainframe, resulting in Dillinger shutting down all access, including to ENCOM employees (because that makes sense.)
  
• This keeps said ENCOM employees from being able to do their jobs. Among them is Alan Bradley, a total boy scout who was working on a security program called Tron.
  
• Cockblocked by Dillinger, Flynn asks his ex, Lora, for help. Lora is now dating Alan. Convenient! And frankly, Alan is a better choice for any kind of serious relationship than Flynn is.
  
• They had a simple plan: Lora and Alan would sneak Flynn into ENCOM. Flynn would hack all the things and get Alan access again, so Alan could have Tron shut down the MCP, so Flynn could get his evidence. What could possibly go wrong?
  
• They take Flynn to a terminal in Lora's lab. There is a GIANT-ASS LASER. That will be important next bullet point.
  
• The MCP busts Flynn yet again, and turns on the laser, zapping Flynn into the computer. Because that is how lasers work, duh. The MCP tells its Trusted Lieutenant, a program called David WarnerSark, to capture Flynn.
  
• Flynn appears ("rezzes") in cyberspace. You can tell because of the blacklights. He's all "What the shit is this?" and gets picked up by Sark's dudes within like five minutes, because he is not yet Genre Savvy.
  
• He has things explained to him by an accounting program named Ram while they're waiting to get thrown into the gladitorial games, which are basically full contact ultimate frisbee. Because nobody ever just shoots the good guy.
  
• Flynn figures out that this is kind of srs bzns, and refuses to kill the program he's facing. This results in him getting tossed onto the Game Grid to play lightcycles with Ram and Tron. This is a tactical error on Sark's part, since Flynn wrote the freakin' game.
  
• Flynn uses a 'sploit and they bust out the side of the area. ZOMG HAX.
  
• Flynn figures out that he's a User and thus basically god. (Suck it, Neo.) Things begin to go badly for Sark and the MCP when Flynn starts throwing around his User powers. He goes one-on-one with the MCP and gets the assist when Tron kills it, snapping him back to the real world.
  
• Flynn gets his evidence, Dillinger is fired, and Flynn becomes CEO of ENCOM. He promotes both Alan and Lora to the Board. Everyone lives happily ever after, at least until they decided to make a sequel.
