 It stars Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, a man suffering from extreme memory loss and attempting to discover his true identity amidst a clandestine conspiracy within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
 The film also features Franka Potente, Chris Cooper, Clive Owen, Julia Stiles, Brian Cox and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

The Bourne Identity is a 1980 spy fiction thriller by Robert Ludlum that tells the story of Jason Bourne, a man with remarkable survival abilities who suffers from retrograde amnesia, and must seek to discover his true identity.

 The story takes readers on an action-packed journey into a world of deceptions and conspiracies, offering a psychological portrait of Bourne, and giving them the chance to experience from his point of view the life-or-death decisions he makes as he seeks to piece together the dangerous puzzle of his missing past.
 It is the first novel of the original Bourne Trilogy, which also includes "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum".
The Bourne Supremacy is the second Jason Bourne novel written by Robert Ludlum, first published in 1986.
 It is the sequel to Ludlum's bestseller "The Bourne Identity" (1980) and precedes Ludlum's final Bourne novel, "The Bourne Ultimatum" (1990).
