“The Bourne Identity” synopsis

On a stormy night, an injured man is rescued by an Italian fishing boat off the coast of Marseille. The man had lost his memory, even his name, occupation, and recent actions. A microcapsule was implanted under the skin and was stamped with a Swiss bank account number. After recovering, the man leaves the ship at a fishing port and heads to a Swiss bank, the only clue to his identity. Eventually, the man is targeted by assassins, and uses his strong body and the fighting techniques he has acquired through training to fight back.

A revolutionary film that changed the course of spy movies.



This movie cannot be overlooked when talking about the history of spy action. Immediately after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, when many filmmakers were faced with the wall of expression, this film made its debut, pointing to a realistic path suitable for a new era and breathing new life into the genre. It's just the turning of the tide. It's been a long time since we've been talking about spy movies in terms of ``before The Bourne'' and ``after The Bourne,'' but we still can't escape the whirlwind of enthusiasm that this film brought.

However, this work is by no means a calculated set-up based on a cool strategy. Behind the scenes, there was an accumulation of decisions that could be called ``bets'' made by various people, including director Doug Liman. Even if any of them were missing, he would not have achieved the legendary reputation he has today.
