| A bullet-riddled man is plucked unconscious from the Mediterranian. He cannot remember who he is but an English doctor finds a Swiss bank account number on his body. The man checks it out to find passports in the name of Bourne, a gun and a vast amount of money.
His arrival triggers off a manhunt during which he kidnaps a Canadian economist to save his life. One of the hitmen who catch up with him decides to rape her before killing her but Bourne uses his extensive martial arts skills to get them clear. From then on, she is his ally as he desperately seeks to find out what the whole deadly game is about and who he is. His brilliant desperate improvisation and ingenious investigation sees off the enemies one by one. | ||
