Cross received similar training to Bourne through a program called Operation Outcome. Instead, the action is centered around a Department of Defense asset named Aaron Cross (played by Jeremy Renner). The Bourne Legacy is the only Bourne film to not star Matt Damon as the titular character. From there, we see him race against the CIA as the agency tries to cover up the existence of the program by murdering all those involved.
He learns Simon Ross (Paddy Considine), a journalist, is working to uncover the secrets behind a CIA assassin training program known as Treadstone. The Bourne Ultimatum follows Bourne, again played by Matt Damon, immediately following the ending of the Bourne Supremacy. Bourne, of course, assumes the assassin was sent by the CIA and that the CIA has renewed its efforts to find Bourne. This same assassin then tries to find Bourne and Marie. Meanwhile, the CIA deputy director is working on a deal, but the operation is ambushed by an unknown assailant, who kills everyone and leaves behind Jason Bourne’s fingerprints to frame him for the murders. Two years after disappearing at the end of The Bourne Identity, Bourne and Marie Kreutz (played Franka Pontente) are now living a peaceful life in Gao, India. He then sets off and eventually learns he is part of a secret program training assassins for the CIA. The only clue is a laser projector found underneath his skin that projects the number of a deposit box in Zurich. He’s been rescued by a fishing vessel in the Mediterranean sea, and when he awakens, he has no recollection of who he is or his past. When you first see Bourne (Matt Damon), you meet him as an anonymous man with two gunshot wounds in his back. To skip the spoilers, check out our at-a-glance version of this guide below. To help you catch-up on Bourne, whether you want to start watching Treadstone or want to experience a full re-watch before the sixth film debuts, we recommend watching the Bourne films in order of release date, as the series is chronological.
It just finished its first season, and there are reports about a sixth Bourne film underway, with Paul Greengrass possibly directing (he directed four Bourne films). There’s also a TV show, Treadstone, which rounds out the Jason Bourne Universe by delving into the background of the CIA program that trained assassins like Bourne. The movies primarily focus on Damon as Bourne, a CIA-controlled assassin who loses his memory and begins a journey to discover his identity, ultimately turning him against his handlers at the CIA. The Jason Bourne films brought the world of spycraft and CIA-ordered assassinations into the new millennium – while also turning Matt Damon into a full-blown Hollywood action star.
