Jason Bourne Catalog
New to 4K Ultra HD
Dec. 6
| Academy Award® winner Matt Damon stars as Jason Bourne in "The Bourne Identity," an explosive and action-packed hit filled with incredible fight sequences. Found with two bullets in his back, Bourne discovers he has the skills of a very dangerous man with no memory of his violent past. Racing to unlock the secret of his own identity, he discovers the deadly truth: he’s an elite government agent; a 30 million dollar weapon that the government no longer trusts. Lethally trained and built to disappear, Bourne is the government's top operative who has become its number one target in this super-charged, thrill-a-minute spectacular loaded with "non-stop action!" (Bill Zwecker, FOX-TV) "The Bourne Legacy" takes the action-packed Bourne series to an explosive new level. On the verge of having their conspiracy exposed, members of the government's intelligence community will stop at nothing to erase all evidence of their top secret programs – even the agents involved. Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner) must use his genetically-engineered skills to survive the ultimate game of cat-and-mouse and finish what Jason Bourne started. Also starring Academy Award® winner Rachel Weisz and Academy Award® nominee Edward Norton, critics are calling this a "thrilling, edge-of-your-seat heart-pounder" (Meg Porter Berns, WSVN-TV (FOX)). They should have left him alone… Academy Award® winner Matt Damon returns as expert assassin Jason Bourne in the next chapter of the stunning, non-stop action hit, "The Bourne Supremacy." The haunting past that Bourne hoped to have escaped from, catches up to him once again as the CIA threatens to ruin his new, anonymous life—forcing Bourne to resume his former life as a trained assassin to survive. Fuelled by awesome fight scenes and some of the most breathtaking chase sequences ever filmed, it's a state-of-the-art espionage thriller that explodes into action and never lets up. Highly trained assassin Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) is on the hunt for the agents who stole his memory and true identity in "The Bourne Ultimatum," the third installment of the epic-espionage Bourne series. With a new generation of skilled CIA operatives tracking his every move, Bourne is in a non-stop race around the globe as he finally learns the truth behind his mysterious past. Loaded with incredible fight and chase sequences, it's the exhilarating movie with "mind-blowing action" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times ) that you can't afford to miss. |
