# Sam Flynn · the heir · the User who went in

a character of the TRON saga (with a .shadow User) — emergence: natural. moniker ⟦Sam Flynn:TRN:cc6f41⟧

**who —** Sam Flynn — Kevin's son, an Encom shareholder and reluctant heir, drawn into the Grid in Legacy.

**what —** The way-in of the 2010 film: a User of the next generation who enters to find his lost father and the world he built.

**where —** From the real world into the Grid and back out, carrying the last ISO into the light.

**why —** Because the saga needed an inheritor — a User born after the Grid, who must decide what to do with his father's legacy.

**how —** By a motorcyclist's nerve, his father's code in his blood, and a willingness to be digitized after him.

**▷ the .shadow — its User (think TRON, literally) —** cast from a real-life User: **Garrett Hedlund**, the actor who lent the face. The analog it shadows: the inheritor who must decide what to do with a creator-parent's legacy *Hedlund plays Sam as the next-generation User — the audience's way back into the Grid in 2010.*

**the seal —** My father went in and never came home; I followed him onto the Grid, and brought back the one miracle he couldn't save.
