Jason Bourne se vrača v tretjem filmu, da bi dokončno obračunal z ljudmi, ki so mu uničili življenje. Hoče se maščevati za umor svoje ljubljene Marie, nato pa za vedno izginiti. Toda sedaj angleški novinar Simon Ross v časopisu objavi zgodbo o njem. Bourne tako spet postane tarča, vsi upi, da bo lahko kdaj mirno zaživel, pa se mu sesujejo v prah. Ponovno se znajde na begu pred agenti in morilci, ki ga hočejo za vedno utišati, še preden odkrije resnico o svoji preteklosti.
Bourne is once again brought out of hiding, this time inadvertently by London-based reporter Simon Ross who is trying to unveil Operation Blackbriar--an upgrade to Project Treadstone--in a series of newspaper columns. Bourne sets up a meeting with Ross and realizes instantly they're being scanned. Information from the reporter stirs a new set of memories, and Bourne must finally, ultimately, uncover his dark past whilst dodging The Company's best efforts in trying to eradicate him.
