A man is found floating in the Mediterranean Sea with two gunshot wounds in his back and an object with a Swiss safe deposit box number on his hip. After reaching the coast, he goes to the locker. On the basis of a passport found in this name, he suspects that his name is Jason Bourne. Furthermore, there are other international passports, a large amount of different currencies and a pistol in the locker. He tries to find out his true identity step by step while he has to face murder attempts by CIA assassins. Ultimately, he finds out that he is one of those assassins whose last job went wrong. Bourne breaks ties with the CIA and teams up with Marie Kreutz. It helps him regain his last memories from memory loss. Bourne's conflict with the CIA culminates when he carries the battle into their “living room”.

An assassination attempt leads to Marie's death, and he decides to seek revenge by hunting down those responsible for her death and his forgotten past. Bourne discovers that Ward Abbott, the former head of Operation Treadstone - the program that turned Bourne into an assassin - stole millions of dollars from the CIA. Abbott wanted to blame Bourne for the embezzlement and believes Bourne was killed as intended. Bourne exposes Abbott in front of Pamela Landy - the CIA agent hired to find Bourne - and Abbott commits suicide. During a long chase, the Russian killer - who was paid to kill Bourne and who is responsible for Marie's death - is killed, and Bourne goes underground.

Bourne manages to get secret documents that prove that Blackbriar was aimed at US citizens. He is supported by Landy, who disagreed with Vosen from the start and disapproves of Blackbriar, as well as former Treadstone logistician Nicky Parsons, who - as is implied - romantic before Bourne's last mission and the resulting memory loss Had feelings for Bourne.

production
According to director Doug Liman, he had been a fan of Robert Ludlum's book The Bourne Identity since reading it in high school. Shortly before the filming of Liman's previous film Swingers was finished , Liman decided to make a film of the book. After more than two years of securing the rights to the book from Universal Studios and another year of script development with screenwriter Tony Gilroy, the two-year filming began. Liman turned to a number of well-known actors for the role of Bourne, including a. Russell Crowe and Sylvester Stallone before ultimately casting the role with Matt Damon . Liman noted that Damon understood and welcomed that the focus of The Bourne Identity was primarily on the character Jason Bourne and the story, despite the action portion. Production was difficult. During the entire filming process, the script was repeatedly rewritten and Liman had to deal continuously with the people in charge at Universal. Ultimately, The Bourne Identity was released in June 2002.
In June 2003, Universal announced the sequel, The Bourne Conspiracy , directed by British director Paul Greengrass . Jason Bourne appeared in 2016 and was again directed by Greengrass.
