Bourne and Marie continue to evade death and arrest, as Jason learns about his involvement with the CIA black ops program Treadstone and his role in the failed assassination attempt of an African dictator. An amnesiac man is pulled from the Mediterranean Sea and the world is introduced to Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne.īourne uncovers details of his past while evading assassination attempts from multiple angles, eventually recruiting the help of Marie Kreutz (Franka Potente). The first Bourne movie is an assassination-filled action-thriller with a plot that twists and turns through time and across borders. Where to Watch: Rentable on Amazon and other platforms. These blurbs contain mild spoilers, including characters, settings, and broad plot points. That movie was adapted from the same novel series as the Damon-led Bourne franchise but doesn’t connect to the films. This chronology doesn’t include the 1988 TV movie The Bourne Identity. There’s also a 2019 TV series, Treadstone, that connects to the films.

It follows much of the same beats as the 2002 film, with Jason Bourne (played by Richard Chamberlain) awakening and not remembering who he is while displaying skills most normal people don't know.There are a total of five Bourne movies, which were released between 20. If you want to see absolutely everything Bourne-related, then you need to check out this made-for-TV movie that aired on ABC in two parts in 1988.

Treadstone is on Amazon Video in the UK, as well as coming to channel 5Action. It can also be watched as a standalone, or after the film series, which is what we recommend. Note: You could watch Treadstone first, before the films, in your re-watch, but the jump to the present day in the first season might confuse or not mean as much to you. From there, the show dives into the present day, with Treadstone assets going about their normal lives until they are suddenly activated and become world-class assassins like Bourne. It’s part-prequel and part-sequel to the Bourne film series, with some of the story set in 1973, when we see CIA operative John Randolph Bentley (played by Jeremy Irvine) escape from a Soviet behavior modification program known as Cicada in East Berlin. The first and only season of Treadstone aired on the USA Network.
