“Jason Bourne” now available in DVD

Matt Damon returns to his most iconic role in Jason Bourne. Paul Greengrass, the director of The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum, once again joins Damon for the next chapter of Universal Pictures’ Bourne franchise, which finds the CIA’s most lethal former operative drawn out of
the shadows.

Almost two decades ago, a brilliant young soldier volunteered for an experimental special-ops program after he was told that terrorists killed his father. He was promised he could honor his family and country by evolving an already impressive intellect, deft agility and adaptable skillset into the unimaginable.

It was all a lie.

Subjected to brutal training he doesn’t remember by people he couldn’t then identify, the elite-trained assassin who came to be called Jason Bourne was molded into a $100 million human weapon who, according to his designers, malfunctioned.

When Bourne tracked his makers to learn their end game, they tried to erase him and took away the only woman he ever loved. Once he found revenge, learned his real identity and what he believed was the goal of his creators’ campaign, Bourne felt a semblance of peace and vanished… for what he hoped was forever.

Once 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 Jason Bourne— what his trackers cannot grasp: even broken soldiers defend the innocent from those with unchecked power.

For Jason Bourne, Damon is joined by an international cast led by Academy Award® winners TOMMY LEE JONES (Men in Black series, The Fugitive) and ALICIA VIKANDER (The Danish Girl, Ex Machina), as well as VINCENT CASSEL (Black Swan, Ocean’s Thirteen), RIZ AHMED (Nightcrawler, Four Lions), ATO ESSANDOH (Django Unchained, Blood Diamond) and SCOTT SHEPHERD (Bridge of Spies, Ithaca). JULIA STILES (Silver Linings Playbook, the Bourne trilogy) reprises her pivotal role in the series.

Five-time Academy Award® nominee FRANK MARSHALL (Jurassic World, the Bourne franchise) again produces, alongside JEFFREY M. WEINER (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Bourne Supremacy) for Captivate Entertainment, as well as BEN SMITH (The Bourne Legacy), Damon, Greengrass and GREGORY GOODMAN (X-Men: First Class, Captain Phillips).

Based on characters created by ROBERT LUDLUM, the film is written by Greengrass and his longtime collaborator, Academy Award® winner CHRISTOPHER ROUSE (Captain Phillips, the Bourne trilogy), who also serves as the thriller’s editor.
