The Bourne Identity

Set against dramatic European backdrops, The Bourne Identity is the story of a man (Matt Damon), salvaged, near death, from the ocean by an Italian fishing boat. When he recuperates, the man suffers from total amnesia, without identity or background...except for a range of extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistic skills and self-defense that speak of a dangerous past. He sets out on a desperate search...assisted by the initially rebellious Marie (Franka Potente)...to discover who he really is, and why he is being pursued by assassins.
