“Tron” has never been in the top tier of sci-fi franchises. The original 1982 film starring Bridges as Kevin Flynn, a man sucked into a computer vortex known as the Grid, was admired for its ground-breaking concept and effects, and was a modest hit with moderately good reviews.

All of which is to say, when the third Tron film, Tron: Ares, was announced for Comic-Con, it had a lot to live up to. That’s especially the case considering the studio dropped a brand-new trailer days before the convention. So what was in store for the biggest room in pop culture?

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Grid took over Comic-Con on Friday, bringing the stars of the new “Tron: Ares” films to unveil footage and reveal the story behind the franchise’s third movie.
