Even more explicit is the original Tron movie. You have a created world where the programs (created beings) exist only to serve their users (gods). A rebel program (the MCP - a fallen angel/Satan) is taking over and denying the existence or users, but some remain faithful. The scene where Tron gets to an I/O port is a prayer in a temple. The MCP is only defeated when Flynn, the User, becomes incarnated in that world and lays down his "life" for the sake of all the faithful programs.
