Continuity mistake: Tron sends his memory disk to talk to Alan. After Tron communicates with his user Alan1, Alan sends him back the disk with new data on it to destroy the MCP. When Tron receives the disk it is like a Frisbee, solid on the top and hollow on the bottom. When he receives the disk the hollow part is on the bottom. He holds the disk in front of him and starts talking about "the key to the new order". The shot changes and the disk has been reversed, hollow side toward him and solid side away from him. He did not have time to rotate the disk. (01:08:10)
Tron (1982)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steven Lisberger
Starring: Jeff Bridges, David Warner, Bruce Boxleitner, Cindy Morgan
Flynn (Bridges), Yori (Morgan) and Tron (Boxleitner) all work together to fight the MCP. Tron and Sark (Warner) duel it out, until Tron kills Sark. The MCP gives Sark more power, and he becomes larger and stronger. Flynn dives in the MCP Beam and distracts him, and then Tron throws his disc into the beam and destroys the MCP. The computer world turns back to normal and Flynn returns to the real world. Dillinger sits at his office and finds that the MCP has been destroyed and Flynn has found the evidence that he created the string of Space Paranoid Games. Flynn becomes the new boss of ENCOM.

Ed Dillinger: What's the project you're working on?
Alan Bradley: Well, it's called Tron. It's a security program itself, actually. It monitors all contacts between our system and other systems. It finds anything going on that's not scheduled, it shuts it down. I sent you a memo on it.
Ed Dillinger: Part of the Master Control Program?
Alan Bradley: No, it'll run independently. It can watchdog the MCP as well.
