The following is the Tron Universe Timeline, which features both confirmed and unconfirmed dates. Tron and Tron 2 are on the same canon, but Tron 2.0 is a different canon.

Late 1970s

It is during this decade that the Master Control Program, an administrative program that oversees ENCOM's mainframe computers, is developed. Ed Dillinger, a programmer at ENCOM, secretly begins to write code into the MCP that tells the program to steal functions from other programs.

1978

  • Kevin Flynn, one of ENCOM's brightest young software engineers, codes "Space Paranoids", "Matrix Blaster", "Vice Squad" and two other high profile video games.
  • Ed Dillinger steals Flynn's programs and presents ENCOM with five video games that he claims as his own.
  • Ed Dillinger gets promoted among the ranks of ENCOM. He soon reaches as Executive V.P. of the company.

Between 1978 and 1982

  • Flynn and Lora Baines meet and become lovers.
  • Kevin Flynn is fired by Mr. Dillinger.
  • Alan Bradley, also a programming engineer, starts coding TRON, an MCP-independent security program that monitors all contacts between ENCOM and other systems.
  • Flynn and Lora finish their relationship.
  • Alan and Lora get together in a relationship.
  • Flynn codes his best program yet, Clu, with the purpose of breaking into security systems, from phone companies to banks.
  • Lora begins 'Matter Transform' tests using a laser that dismantles the molecular structure of objects, in a process called digitization.

1980s

1981

  • Flynn starts using Clu to hack ENCOM's system and periodically tries reading the different mainframe's memory modules to reconstruct the file he needs as solid evidence to proof he's the one who programmed the video games.
  • The MCP has gotten 2,415 times smarter since Mr. Dillinger wrote it.

Sep. 22 [1]

  • Mr. Dillinger shuts down access to all Group-7 personnel. Alan is not granted access to his TRON program.
  • Lora, working together with Dr. Gibbs, finish yet another 'digitizing' test. Her theory of a scanned U-V laser beam being superior to single pulse exposure is a success.
  • Flynn sets an all-time world record in 'Space Paranoids' with 999,000 points.
  • Alan, Flynn and Lora plan using a terminal from within ENCOM to forge a Group-6 access, get into the system to activate TRON and use it as a means of shutting down the MCP and retrieve the evidence.
  • Flynn gets digitized by the MCP when trying to access the mainframe. He succeeds in retrieving and printing the file needed as evidence.
