Matt Damon returns as Jason Bourne in the follow-up to The Bourne Identity and The Bourne Supremacy, this time evading a government agent across Moscow, Paris and North Africa.
The movie begins immediately following the car chase near the end of The Bourne Supremacy, with a wounded Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) evading the Moscow police. Bourne is careful to use non-lethal force, while breaking into a medical clinic to treat his wounds. He then goes to Paris to tell Marie's brother of her death. On the way, Bourne reads an article in The Guardian where journalist Simon Ross (Paddy Considine) describes Jason Bourne and a CIA operation called Blackbriar. Bourne arranges to meet Ross in London at Waterloo station. However, Ross is under CIA surveillance, after his mention of Blackbriar on a phone call to his editor triggered a CIA alert. The CIA follow Ross to Waterloo, believing him to be meeting his source there. At the station, Bourne sees the CIA agents following Ross. Bourne plants a prepaid cellphone on Ross and calls him, instructing Ross on how to evade the agents and knocking out any others tailing them.
The Bourne Ultimatum is a 2007 film based loosely on Robert Ludlum's novel of the same name. A sequel to The Bourne Supremacy, it stars Matt Damon reprising his role as Ludlum's signature character, amnesia-suffering CIA assassin Jason Bourne. Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, Edgar Ramirez, Albert Finney, and Joan Allen co-star. The cast reprises their roles from the previous Bourne movies, with additions such as Strathairn, playing a CIA department head; Paddy Considine as a British journalist; and Edgar Ramirez as a new assassin sent to kill Bourne. The film continues the saga of Jason Bourne after he survives the harrowing Bourne Supremacy car chase in Moscow, Russia, and follows the character as he travels to Paris, London, Madrid, Tangier and New York City to uncover his real identity, while the CIA continues to send assassins after him.
