A light-year is a measure of distance, not time.

Can a human survive long enough to travel that distance? Not by any means known.

The fastest spacecraft ever built by humans (Voyager 1) is traveling at 17.23 km/s.

Light travels at 299,792 km/s. That means that a spacecraft would take over 17 thousand years to travel one light-year.

Incidentally, the nearest star which might have planets is over 10 light-years away.

Does tron legacy world exist?

No, it is a complete fiction, but it might (give our take, I don't know 200-300 years?) exist in the future but it would require immense technological advances, and it would be unlikely it would ever exist. At least in the form it is in the movies (i.e disk fights, light cycles, light suits, etc.)
