Encyclopedic overview

The Bourne Legacy is a 2012 American action-thriller film directed by Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Dan. It is the fourth installment in the Bourne series of films following The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). It stars Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach, and Oscar Isaac. The film follows Aaron Cross, a fictional black ops agent and member of Operation Outcome. Cross must run for his life once former CIA assassin Jason Bourne's actions lead to the exposure of Operation Treadstone and its successor, Operation Blackbriar.

The Bourne Legacy is the only film in the Bourne series that does not feature titular character Jason Bourne; actor Matt Damon chose not to appear in the film because Paul Greengrass was not the director. Nevertheless, Bourne is shown in pictures and mentioned by name several times throughout the film. Parts of The Bourne Legacy take place at the same time as the events portrayed in the previous film, The Bourne Ultimatum. Filming primarily took place in New York City, with some scenes shot in the Philippines, South Korea, and Canada.
