This starts by looking at both the dot matrix map of the Grid on Flynn's lab wall as well as the more detailed colored one floating around this board and which was probably from an authorized fanzine. Here's how we do it...


I read somewhere from an authoritative source, probably a Disney approved fanzine, that from Tron City to the portal is 60 miles. So we have that length at least and can probably extrapolate with accuracy from that how wide the Grid is as well as , finally, how far out from Tron City Flynn's safehouse is! Okay I'm lazy so someone get to it and hopefully we can have a rough idea by this evening!

You are all quite welcome..

If someone kindly provides a map of the Grid, I would glady do a visualextrapolation for everyone to see.

I'm sure they do. Did they give distances or relative distances and locations of the colonies or other places in the TRON: Evolution game? That would probably help our little "Challenge of the Grid" extrapolation. LOL!

EDIT: By my very quick and dirty calculations, the Safe House is roughly 7 miles from the center of TRON City.

So where would the Evolution places be on that map and the dot matrix one?

STOP STOP STOP! This thread is not about Tron Evolution anything, we're only concerned about TL and that's all and the locations that appear in it and their relative distance on the Grid World map to each other as seen in Flynn's lab or the color version of that same map to which there is a link in this thread. Keep the Evolution stuff to those guys over on the Evo board. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Tron Evolution and Tron Legacy both take place in The Grid. Therefore information from Evolution should be considered relevant.

Argent Wrote:It can be ignored easily. (Some people will argue that only what actually appears in the movie should be considered canon, regardless of what the film's producers, etc., say.) You're right, though - last I heard, Evolution was intended to be taken as canon, so it really shouldn't be ignored if we're attempting to determine just how large the Grid's supposed to be.

What they said.

Vaporware Wrote:I am still troubled by the geographic detail and plot points on that map. It's dated July 23, 2008, but the images of the light jets, Clu's rectifier, and solar sailer are completely wrong.

I understand where you're coming from, Vaporware. But remember, it's probably just a very early conceptual map to help flesh out the story. They probably didn't have imagery yet for CLU's Rectifier vessel and the updated Solar Sailer, so they just used placeholder images from the original TRON.

Also notice that the date you see, July 23, 2008, is either the day before or the day of the surprise screening of the test footage at Comic-Con 2008 (I can't remember it, exactly). This map may have even been designed as a promotional piece that they were originally going to use at Comic-Con that year. But they may have scrapped that idea since some of the elements we see on that map didn't really make it into the movie. For example, the "Subterranean Bunker" (separate from the Safe House) shown on the map wasn't a specific location we see in the movie, but that element may have evolved into the Batcave-like entrance Quorra drove the Light Runner through. I don't know that for certain, but it seems logical to me. Heck, they may have removed that element all together, I don't know.

But it seems to me, Kosinski and company had already nailed down a lot of the storyline and specific elements of the story, such as the layout of the Grid, and location of various places where scenes would take place. So my take on it is that the map was just an aid to those working on the film to help better understand Joe's vision of the story he wanted to tell.

Here it is guys:

LOL, sorry and you're welcome? xD
