Jason Bourne 2016

Jason Bourne is a 2016 American action thriller film co-produced and directed by Paul Greengrass, who co-wrote the script with Christopher Rouse. It is the fifth installment of the Bourne film series and a direct sequel to The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). Matt Damon reprises his role as the main character, former CIA assassin Jason Bourne, in addition to co-producing the film. In addition, the film stars Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel, Riz Ahmed, Ato Essandoh, Scott Shepherd, and Julia Stiles who also reprises her role as Nicky Parsons. The film takes place twelve years after the events of Ultimatum and follows Bourne who remains on the run from CIA hit squads as he tries to uncover hidden truths about his father, while CIA director Robert Dewey (Jones) orders the head of cyber-security, Heather Lee (Vikander), to hunt him down. Plans for a direct sequel to The Bourne Legacy (2012) starring Jeremy Renner were put on hold in favor of an official sequel to Ultimatum featuring the return of Damon as actor (and also producer) and Greengrass as director.
