The Bourne Identity:
Robert Ludlum's The Bourne Identity, the first in his trio of international
thrillers featuring master spy Jason Bourne, was a sensation when it was
published in 1980. Now this potent novel gets an edgy 21st century spin from
director Doug Liman (Swingers, Go) who delivers Ludlum's high-stakes tale with
grit, style and nerve. The story opens as an amnesiac (Damon) is rescued at sea
by the crew of an Italian fishing boat. Nearly dead, he carries only the bullets
in his back and the bank account number implanted in his hip. Although
completely without identity or background, he does possess an array of
extraordinary talents in fighting, linguistics and self-defense that speak of a
dangerous past. He sets out on a desperate search assisted by the initially
rebellious Marie (Potente) to discover who he really is, and why so many people
want him dead.
The Bourne Supremacy:
Following the smash worldwide success of 2002's The Bourne Identity, Universal
Pictures brings the second installment of best-selling author Robert
Ludlum's series to the screen with Matt Damon returning as trained assassin
Jason Bourne in The Bourne Supremacy. Bourne continues to find himself plagued
by splintered nightmares from his former life. The stakes are now even higher
for the agent as he coolly maneuvers through the dangerous waters of
international espionage–replete with CIA plots, turncoat agents and
ever-shifting covert alliances–all the while hoping to find the truth behind
his haunted memories and answers to his own fragmented past.
The Bourne Ultimatum:
Matt Damon returns as trained assassin, Jason Bourne in the third chapter of the
espionage series. Now hunted by the people who made him what he was, Bourne
tries to go back to the beginning to find out who he was.
