Synopsis

A man is shot twice on the deck of a ship, during a heavy storm at night. The injured man plunges into the Mediterranean Sea, eventually washing ashore in a fishing village off the coast of Southern France. Two fishermen take him to the local doctor, a retired surgeon, who nurses him back to health. He then discovers he has exceptional skills; fluency in multiple languages, combat prowess, and an ability to adapt to dangerous situations. He has no memory of his past and suffers from amnesia after surviving a gunshot wound to the head. He’s a ghost in the machine, haunted by fragmented memories and nightmares, pursued by assassins. A trail of clues, including a surgically implanted microfilm revealing a Swiss bank account number, leads him to Zurich. There, he discovers he has 15 million dollars and retrieves a large sum of money, multiple passports, and a name: Jason Bourne from a safety deposit box. However, he soon realizes this might not be his true identity.
