Storyline
Based very loosely on Robert Ludlum's novel, the Bourne Identity is the
story of a man whose wounded body is discovered by fishermen who nurse
him back to health. He can remember nothing and begins to try to rebuild
his memory based on clues such as the Swiss bank account, the number of
which, is implanted in his hip. He soon realizes that he is being
hunted and takes off with Marie on a search to find out who he is and
why he is being hunted. Written by
