| abstract | - The Bourne Betrayal is a 2013 American action film directed by Ron Howard and is the fifth installment in the series of films adapted from the novels originated by Robert Ludlum, being preceded by The Bourne Identity (2002), The Bourne Supremacy (2004), The Bourne Ultimatum (2007), and continued by Eric Van Lustbader with The Bourne Legacy (2012). Although this film has the same title as Van Lustbader's second Bourne novel, The Bourne Betrayal, the actual screenplay bears little resemblance to the novel, though it does feature some parts from the novel. Unlike the novel, which features Jason Bourne as the principal character, the film centers on tactical ops agent Aiden Parks (played by Pete L. J. Dickson), an original character. In addition to Dickson, the film stars Enuka Okuma, Angela Sarafyan, Michael J. Fox, James Earl Jones, and Scott Foley. The titular character Jason Bourne does not appear in The Bourne Betrayal, because actor Matt Damon chose not to return for the fourth and fifth film. Bourne is shown in pictures and mentioned by name several times throughout the film. Ron Howard sought to continue the story of the film series without changing its key events, and parts of The Bourne Betrayal take place at the same time as the third film, The Bourne Ultimatum (2007). In The Bourne Betrayal, Aiden Parks is a member of a tactical ops program called Operation Swordbreaker whose subjects are genetically trained. He must run for his life once former CIA Treadstone agent Jason Bourne's actions lead to the public exposure of Operation Treadstone and its successor Operation Blackbriar. Filming was primarily in Washington D. C., with some scenes shot in the Sierra Nevadas, Canada, Pakistan, Istanbul, and Turkey. Released on February 11, 2013, the film received mixed reviews, with critics praising the story, Bruce Broughton's score, and Dickson's performance, but expressed disappointment in Matt Damon's absence. The film was followed in 2016 by Jason Bourne, in which Damon and Greengrass reprised their earlier roles.
