Kevin Flynn è l'autore di alcuni videogiochi di grande successo, tuttavia la ENCOM, società che ne detiene i diritti, l'ha estromesso e li fa passare per proprie creazioni. Nel tentativo di recuperare i dati che potrebbero provare la paternità delle proprie opere intellettuali, Flynn entra di nascosto nel palazzo della società e da un terminale cerca di aggirare le protezioni interne. Se ne accorge però l'MCP, unità di calcolo centrale (il cervellone che riunisce tutti i computer ENCOM e che ha sviluppato una forma di intelligenza autonoma) e attraverso un laser sperimentale da poco costruito nel laboratorio trasporta il creativo nel mondo del computer. Una volta dentro Kevin Flynn scopre che esiste un universo in cui i programmi hanno forma umana, in cui l'MCP comanda come un dittatore sanguinario, che i videogiochi sono in realtà battaglie mortali e che i creativi come lui sono oggetti di culti proibiti al pari di divinità religiose.
