 Jason Bourne is a 2016 American action thriller film directed by Paul Greengrass and written by Greengrass and Christopher Rouse. It is the fifth installment in the Bourne film series and a direct sequel to The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). Matt Damon reprises his role as the title character, former CIA assassin Jason Bourne. Additionally, the film stars Tommy Lee Jones, Alicia Vikander, Julia Stiles, Vincent Cassel, Riz Ahmed, Ato Essandoh and Scott Shepherd.

 The character Aaron Cross, from The Bourne Legacy (2012), does not appear in the film because director Greengrass wanted to focus on the main character and because actor Jeremy Renner could not participate due to scheduling conflicts. In Jason Bourne, Bourne continues to flee from CIA squads while trying to uncover hidden truths about his father, while CIA Director Robert Dewey (Jones) orders cybersecurity chief Heather Lee (Vikander) to chase him. Principal photography on the film began on September 8, 2015.
