A subsequent attempt on his life results in Marie's death, so he decides to take revenge by hunting down those responsible for her death and his forgotten past, thinking that the CIA is hunting him again. Bourne discovers that Ward Abbott Brian Cox , one of the men who oversaw Operation Treadstone, the program which trained Bourne to be an assassin, stole millions of dollars from the CIA. Abbott meant to implicate Bourne in the theft with the frame-up, which would have led the CIA on a wild goose chase had Bourne been killed as intended.
During a long car chase with Bourne, the Russian agent who was paid to kill him and was responsible for Marie's death is killed, and Bourne goes into hiding. After six weeks of disconnection from his job, Jason Bourne Matt Damon learns that a British journalist has been investigating his past and contacts him to find out who his source is.
Bourne is subsequently targeted by Operation Blackbriar, an upgraded Operation Treadstone, which has also taken note of the investigation. Believing that Bourne is a threat and is seeking revenge, Blackbriar's director Noah Vosen David Strathairn begins a new hunt for Bourne. Bourne manages to take classified documents proving that Blackbriar has targeted U.
She may have had romantic feelings for Bourne before his final mission and resultant amnesia. Bourne finally comes face to face with the person who oversaw his behavioral modification as the first Treadstone operative some years earlier, memories of which resurface. Those responsible for Treadstone and Blackbriar are exposed, and Bourne goes underground. Aaron Cross Jeremy Renner is a member of Operation Outcome, a United States Department of Defense black ops program which enhances the physical and mental abilities of field operatives through pills referred to as "chems".
Cross, deployed to Alaska for a training assignment, traverses rugged terrain to reach a cabin operated by an exiled Outcome operative. Cross manages to survive several attempts on his life and seeks a way to get more chems, as his have run out.
Cross eventually comes upon Dr. Marta Shearing Rachel Weisz , his last link to gain more chems. He discovers she has no pills but that his physical enhancements have actually "viraled-out" and are now genetically permanent, so he no longer needs those. He reveals to her that without the help of the mental enhancements, he possesses a well below average IQ.
To avoid this mental regression, and the operatives hunting them, the two travel to a factory in Manila and with Shearing's help, Cross survives the possibly fatal process of "viraling-out" of his dependency of the remaining mental enhancing pills. They evade the Manila police and an operative from the new LARX program, and successfully escape from the Philippines on a junk ship.
Universal confirmed at a media conference in Los Angeles, California, that they have plans to release more Bourne films, despite Legacy being given mixed reviews by critics.

Just to note that there is a made-for-TV movie, The Bourne Identity, but it stars Richard Chamberlain and has nothing to do with the films below — except, of course, also being an adaptation of Robert Ludlum novel of the same name. The first film in the franchise and the one that introduced us to Matt Damon as the mysterious man suffering from memory loss.
After being rescued from the Mediterranean Sea by two Italian fisherman, Bourne spends most of the first film trying to discover his own identity, later assuming the name Jason Bourne after discovering a passport with that name on it.
Well reviewed by critics, The Bourne Identity is an action-packed thriller and a near-perfect introduction to the franchise which has the feel of a 21st century Bond. We also pin it as being set in the year of its release, so Two years after cutting ties with CIA and finding out that he is a part of a secret assassin-training programme, Bourne is now living peacefully in Goa with Marie Kreutz. The year is However, nothing goes smoothly for Bourne and he is framed for murder which leads to the death of Marie.
Bourne naturally thinks the CIA is after him again and renews his efforts to find those responsible for Marie's death and find out more about his past. After discovering some top-level corruption — and informing a long-lost contact the real truth behind her parents' deaths — he goes into hiding once again. Set just a few weeks after the end of Supremacy, putting this one in as well, Bourne is tracked down by a journalist working to uncover the secret assassin training programme he was part of.
