The Bourne Supremacy (2004) Parents Guide: Is the movie OK for kids?
Age Rating, Sex, Violence & Language
A CIA operation to purchase classified Russian documents is blown by a rival agent, who then shows up in the sleepy seaside village where Bourne and Marie have been living. The pair run for their lives and Bourne, who promised retaliation should anyone from his former life attempt contact, is forced to once again take up his life as a trained assassin to survive.
Rated PG-13 • 2004 • 1h 48m
Jason Bourne is framed for a CIA operation gone wrong and must clear his name while uncovering more of his past. Paul Greengrass's handheld camera style — disorienting and visceral — defined a decade of action filmmaking.

Sex and nudity in The Bourne Supremacy
There is no sexual content or nudity featured in the film. The relationship between Bourne and Marie is depicted through emotional proximity and a sense of shared survival rather than physical intimacy. This lack of sexual material is consistent with the film's focus on high-stakes espionage and kinetic action.
Violence and gore in The Bourne Supremacy
A car chase through Moscow — one of action cinema's finest. Hand-to-hand combat in tight spaces. A woman killed at the film's start — sudden and brutal. Realistic rather than stylised violence.
Language in The Bourne Supremacy
The film contains moderate language consistent with a PG-13 rating, including a single uses of the F-word and several instances of 'shit.' Other profanities like 'hell' and 'damn' are used occasionally during high-stress situations. The dialogue primarily focuses on tactical communication rather than vulgarity.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in The Bourne Supremacy
There are no significant depictions of drug use or alcohol consumption throughout the movie. The characters remain focused on their mission objectives, and the narrative does not rely on substance-related subplots or social drinking scenes. This absence aligns with the serious, professional tone of the CIA operatives and the protagonist.
Mature themes in The Bourne Supremacy
The weight of Bourne's actions catching up with him — he cannot escape what he has done and the people he has hurt. An apology to a woman whose parents he killed as his first mission. One of the most honest depictions of a spy confronting his own crimes.
