Plot summary
Jason Bourne's exposure of Treadstone and Blackbriar in New York puts CIA officials under investigation. Retired Colonel Eric Byer, who oversaw the agency's clandestine operations, is brought in to contain the damage, and he orders Operation Outcome, a Department of Defense program that supplies its agents with pills for physical and mental enhancement, shut down along with its agents and scientists. One of those agents, Aaron Cross, known as Number Five, is in the Alaskan wilderness on a training exercise with a fellow operative, Number Three, and is cut off from the program's supply of pills. He travels to Maryland and turns to Dr. Marta Shearing, a researcher who worked on Outcome.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Bourne Legacy (2012)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Oscar Isaac was Tony Gilroy's top choice for the lead role of Aaron Cross and even screen-tested for it, but Universal Pictures refused to approve him because he had never led a movie before and they felt it would be risky; Isaac was given the smaller role of "Number 3" instead.
- The character Jason Bourne does not appear in the film at all: Matt Damon chose not to appear because Paul Greengrass did not return to direct.
- The scenes set in the "SteriPacific" factory in Manila were not shot in the Philippines at all, but at the New York Times printing plant in Queens.
