Double OscarĀ® nominee Jeremy Renner picks up the mantle from franchise star Matt Damon as the Bourne saga enters its fourth chapter.
Agent Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) is a near-superhuman assassin, thanks to a top-secret government drugs programme that enhances both his mental and physical power.
News of the exposure of two previous programmes has reached the CIA top brass who decide that, for the sake of the agency, Outcome must be terminated. Suddenly, Cross is in mortal danger as his employer begins to eradicate any evidence of the controversial programme - including its participants.
Desperate for more 'chems', Cross targets government medic Marta Shearing (Rachel Weisz), and with the CIA also turning on her, she reluctantly agrees to help him. Time is running out, and with government spooks hot on their tail, they face a life-or-death battle to figure out how they'll escape the CIA's clutches.
