Movie Summary

Director:
Doug Liman
Released:
2002
Rating:
PG-13

The Bourne Identity focuses on Jason Bourne, a mysterious man found floating near dead in the middle of the ocean with bullet holes riddling his back. As he tries to find his way back to Paris with the help of German-born Marie, Jason starts to realize that his flashes involving a yacht and a dictator from the news, Nykwana Wombosi, and random outbursts that point to his skills not quite being on the right side of life. With more clues leading him to his profession as some kind of assassin, Bourne and Marie set out to escape the number of other agents sent to take him out, including the martial arts combat of Castel and sharpshooter The Professor. What Treadstone and its director, Alexander Conklin don't realize is that amnesia or not, Jason Bourne is still a lethally trained assassin, programmed to hide and seek.
