Set against dramatic European backdrops, THE BOURNE
IDENTITY is the story of a man (Matt Damon), salvaged, near
death, from the ocean by the crew of an Italian fishing
boat. When he recuperates, the man suffers from total
amnesisa. He is completely without identity or background,
but possesses 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. |
