Bourne Watching Order

This watching order is designed to give an outline of the Bourne movie and television franchise. It explains what order to watch the Bourne movies and looks at any connections between them. It also explains how the Treadstone TV series fits into the Bourne universe.

Bourne Trilogy Watching Order

The Bourne universe of films starts with the original Bourne Trilogy. This is the start of the franchise, so a Bourne Trilogy watching order does not require watching anything else first.

The Bourne trilogy proceeds in a very straightforward manner. The Bourne Identity is first, The Bourne Supremacy is second, and The Bourne Ultimatum is third. Each movie builds on the movie that came before it, creating a large narrative that stretches through the full trilogy. For this reason, we highly recommend starting with The Bourne Identity and going forward. We do not recommend watching The Bourne Supremacy or The Bourne Ultimatum without watching the preceding films first.
