Synopsis
In this action-packed sequel to 2002 blockbuster "The Bourne Identity," Jason (Matt Damon) and Marie (Franka Potente) are jolted out of their idyllic life in self-exile and once again find themselves in the crosshairs of Jason's former employer, the shadowy intelligence agency that molded him into an elite assassin. Hunted for a crime he did not commit, Bourne is drawn into a thrilling, edge-of-your-seat cat-and-mouse game with feuding CIA operatives Pamela Landry (Joan Allen) and Ward Abbott (Brian Cox), and former handler Nicky (Julia Stiles).
