The best-selling suspense novel by late author
Robert Ludlum comes to the screen for a second time, following a 1988 made-for-TV movie.
Matt Damon stars as
Jason Bourne, a barely alive amnesiac with a pair of bullet wounds in his back, pulled from the Mediterranean by Italian fishermen.
Bourne's only clue to his own identity is a bank account number etched on a capsule implanted in his body. He quickly finds the Zurich bank where money, a gun, and a few identification documents await, but after he's pursued by security goons at the American consulate,
Bourne realizes he can trust no one and offers a German gypsy named
Marie (
Franka Potente) ten thousand dollars for a ride to Paris. Encountering more professional killers bent on his destruction,
Bourne discovers that he possesses a surprising degree of skill in combat, martial arts, and linguistics -- handy talents that clearly indicate his past includes work as a spy and assassin, but for whom? With
Marie's reluctant help,
Bourne edges closer to the truth, something CIA officials want concealed at all costs.
The Bourne Identity co-stars
Chris Cooper,
Clive Owen,
Brian Cox, and
Julia Stiles.
