Anime on US cable TV

[M]

The similarities are at the core scenarios: Genius computer-hacker male 
living in the real world is transported by others into 
computer-controlled reality where he is believed to be the Chosen One 
that will free them from the Overlord.  The main difference is The 
Architect of The Matrix has already accomplished domination of the real 
world where the Master-Controller of Tron is on the verge of beginning 
his conquest.

i see the anime influecnce in aesthetics, but the story to me has always 
been Tron meets Star Wars, with a little Videodrome mixed in.
