The Master Control Program originates from the 1982 Disney film ''{{w|Tron}}'', voiced by David Warner. Created as a chess program, the MCP was repurposed by Ed Dillinger (also played by Warner) to administer the entire system at the company ENCOM, a software manufacture and computer experimentation company of which Dillinger had recently become a high-ranking executive. The MCP began to expand beyond the control of Dillinger, blackmailing him with the evidence that he had gotten his promotion by stealing the video game programs of his coworker [[Kevin Flynn]], and intended to hack the Pentagon and the Kremlin to replace human control of the world. | The Master Control Program originates from the 1982 Disney film ''{{w|Tron}}'', voiced by the late David Warner.

When Kevin Flynn attempts to hack into ENCOM's memory to retrieve the same evidence, the MCP digitizes him using an experimental laser, and locks him away with other programs he had captured to be eventually eliminated playing video games. Flynn meets Tron in the games, and together they escape the MCP and make their way to him. The MCP puts increasing pressure on Sark, his enforcer on the Game Grid, to capture Tron. | When Kevin Flynn attempts to hack into ENCOM's memory to retrieve the same evidence, the MCP digitizes him using an experimental laser, and locks him away with other programs he had captured to be eventually eliminated playing video games.
