Jason Bourne

[projekktor id=’24899′]

Matt Damon is back in his most iconic role for Jason Bourne, the fifth film in the espionage action franchise. Also returning to the franchise are director Paul Greengrass – who helmed Supremacy and Ultimatum – and Julia Stiles, the only other actor to appear alongside Damon in every film (excluding the Jeremy Renner starring Legacy). The film also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Vincent Cassel, and Riz Ahmed.

When a new program is activated—one developed by a global power structure more intricate and duplicitous than in the period of superpowers from which Bourne was created—he is flushed out of hiding by an instantly malleable network that is more dangerous than any individual government. The singular goal of this power nexus is to manipulate terror, technology and insurgency to fit its end game. While his pursuers believe Bourne will come in for reconditioning if they deliver him what he most desires, the most elite weapon ever designed knows what his trackers cannot grasp: even broken soldiers defend the innocent from those with unchecked power.

“We love (Bourne) just as much as everybody else,” Damon says, “and we were leery of putting the cart before the horse and making another Bourne movie before we were ready with a good story—it was a case of waiting for the world to change a bit.”

Jason Bourne is rated 14A.
