What happens

The Bourne Ultimatum is a 2007 American action-thriller film based on Robert Ludlum's character Jason Bourne, a CIA assassin and psychogenic amnesiac portrayed by Matt Damon. Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Scott Glenn, Paddy Considine, Édgar Ramírez, Albert Finney, and Joan Allen also star. The film was directed by Paul Greengrass and written by Tony Gilroy, Scott Z. Burns, and George Nolfi. Loosely based on the novel of the same name, the story takes place both during and after the events of The Bourne Supremacy (2004), and follows Bourne as he continues searching for information about his past before joining Treadstone, while also being pursued by a similar program, Blackbriar. Following the release of Supremacy, Greengrass agreed to return to direct the third installment. Gilroy, the writer of the previous two films, wanted to explore Bourne seeking redemption for his murders, an aspect that he felt was missing from the previous film. Principal photography began in New York City on October 2, 2006. The visual effects were produced by Double Negative. The Bourne Ultimatum premiered at ArcLight Hollywood on July 25, 2007, before being theatrically released on August 3 in the United States, by Universal Pictures. It received critical acclaim, grossed $444 million worldwide, and won three Academy Awards. A fourth film, The Bourne Legacy, was released in 2012, without the involvement of Damon or Greengrass. A sequel to Ultimatum, titled simply Jason Bourne, was released in 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
