Tron Sequel Teasers and Easter Eggs Revealed.

It turns out, the hidden content isn't that hard to find. To start with, all you have to do is watch the featurette "The Next Day: Flynn Lives Revealed." The piece gives an overview of the Flynn Lives campaign, the basis for an ARG promoting the film that earned a real-life following of fans all over the world. It chronicles the story of the fictional grass-roots movement that emerged following Kevin Flynn's mysterious disappearance in 1989, up to Sam's return at the end of Tron: Legacy.

The piece culminates in a scene between Alan Bradley (Bruce Boxleitner) and Roy "Ram" Kleinberg (whom Tron fans will recognize as Dan Shor, the same actor who played Ram in the original film), a former ENCOM programmer. The scene reveals that Roy is Zack Attack, the effective leader of the Flynn Lives movement, and that Alan is his financial backer, code-named Isolated Thinker. Alan has been reinstated as CEO of ENCOM by Sam, and states his intentions to put Flynn Lives behind them and reinvent the company as Flynn would have wanted it. He offers to bring on Roy as the company's "moral compass." When Roy asks whether Ed Dillinger Jr. (portrayed briefly by Cillian Murphy in Tron: Legacy) will stay on, Alan replies that he has "earned his place." This is the first piece of the puzzle that seems to point to a plot or at least some viral marketing for Tron 3 (sometimes referred to as TR3N).

When the featurette ends, you get a screen that looks like an old-school arcade console display with a list of high scores. There's a place where you can enter a three-letter code, just like you would enter your initials if you got a top score. Each of the initials in the list brings up a different segment. Some of them provide background on the Flynn Lives campaign, others show footage from various public events, like Comic-Con and Wonder Con, where bits of the Flynn Lives story played out. If you followed the viral campaign, you might have seen some of these on the web previously, but there are some fun surprises here as well.

The most telling video is an online chat between two characters identified only as EDJ_0431 and MCTRL_751. EDJ, whom we assume to be Ed Jr., refers to MCTRL as "Dad," but is it really Ed Dillinger, Sr.? Or has the Master Control Program come back online? The conversation concludes with the MCP's traditional sign-off, "End of Line," so that may be a clue. Either way, the modified voice reading the dialogue is clearly that of David Warner, who played both roles in the original film.

Below you'll find a complete list of the codes and the content they unlock.

DJR - The aforementioned text exchange between EDJ_0431 and MCTRL_751.

CEO - A reel-to-reel audio tape plays with the full conversation between Alan and an unknown speaker from ENCOM. They discuss Flynn's disappearance and Alan taking over as interim CEO.

MKT - A clip from a business news show called The Market Floor in which Alan, newly appointed to the position of ENCOM chairman, talks about the company's plans for the future. In a split screen, a graphic shows the stock price plummeting.

SAM - Features footage from the staged ENCOM press conference at last year's WonderCon convention in San Francisco.

TAG - A YouTube video of a tagger spray painting "Flynn Lives" on the infamous big door outside ENCOM headquarters.

FLV - An aged VHS tape providing information about the Flynn Lives movement and Flynn's book The Digital Frontier. At the end, an address is displayed, which corresponds to the location in San Diego where Flynn's
