In Tron: Legacy (2010), what is the first name of hacker Sam Flynn?

The story behind the answer

In Tron: Legacy (2010), the hacker Sam Flynn’s first name is Sam.

Sam Flynn is the son of Kevin Flynn, the computer programmer who disappeared into the digital world known as the Grid. After receiving a mysterious message from his father’s old arcade, Sam enters the Grid and becomes involved in a conflict involving Kevin, the program Clu, and the system’s evolving digital society.

Garrett Hedlund plays Sam Flynn, while Jeff Bridges plays both Kevin Flynn and the digital program Clu. Tron: Legacy was directed by Joseph Kosinski and released in 2010 as a sequel to the 1982 film Tron.

Sam is sometimes confused with Clu because both are connected to Kevin Flynn and the Grid. They are different characters: Sam is human, while Clu is a computer-generated program modeled on Kevin’s appearance.
