On a stormy night, a young man is pulled out of
the Mediterranean Sea by the crew of a fishing
boat. Thinking the young man is dead, a curious
fisherman with a scalpel finds two bullets in his
back and a miniature laser device in his hip. The
laser reveals a Swiss bank account number. But
our wet hero isn't dead, and soon finds himself
in Zurich. In the bank vault the young man
discovers his name, Jason Bourne. In addition, he
finds a baffling pile of different passports, all
with his picture, and a huge pile of cash. In the
U.S. Embassy, Jason Bourne discovers his love
interest and travel partner, Marie, along with the
fact that someone wants to kill him. Armed with
a bag of money and mysterious martial arts skills,
with Marie by his side, Bourne scours Paris for
clues about his identity and past life... and finds
himself in the middle of two assassination plots
masterminded by the CIA.
