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 Maria (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
Maria'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. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie
