Bourne Identity

Based on Robert Ludlum's hugely successful trio of conspiracy novels, director Doug Liman (Swingers, Go) delivers a superior spy thriller with a series of gripping espionage thrills including flashy fight scenes, the best Mini action since The Italian Job and an explosive love story to match.

The film opens as Jason Bourne (Academy Award® winner Matt Damon - Good Will Hunting, Saving Private Ryan, Oceans Eleven) is rescued from the sea by fishermen, nearly dying and with total amnesia. He carries only the bullets in his back and a bank account number implanted in his hip. Bourne soon discovers he has a talent for fighting, linguistics and self-defence, which indicates a dangerous past.

Bourne goes on the run to Paris on a quest to reveal his identity, and soon discovers he is being chased by strangers determined to kill him. He befriends a German wanderer, Marie Kreutz (Franka Potente - Run Lola Run, Blow), who helps him explore why his life has taken such a perilous turn.
