The Bourne films are a series of spy thrillers based on novels by Robert Ludlum. They follow Jason Bourne, a man with little memory of his past who discovers he was trained for secret missions by the CIA, the US foreign intelligence agency.
Matt Damon plays Bourne in four films, while Jeremy Renner leads a 2012 story centred on another agent, Aaron Cross. The films share characters and events, but Cross’s story takes the series in a different direction.
The franchise is known for fast-paced action and plots about covert operations, identity and government power. Having the films available together can help viewers follow how the series develops across its different stories.
