Roger Young's made-for-TV adaptation of the Robert Ludlum novel, The Bourne Identity stars Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne, who washes up on the beach and is cared for by a doctor. Bourne has no memories, but is intrigued enough to investigate why he has the number of a Swiss bank account on his thigh. As Jason travels to various European cities following clues about his past, he begins to discover that his actions match those of the feared international terrorist Carlos. The book was filmed a second time in 2002 by Doug Liman with Matt Damon in the title role. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Roger Young directs Richard Chamberlain in the made-for-TV adaptation of Robert Ludlum's spy thriller The Bourne Identity, which comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer that preserves the original broadcast aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The English soundtrack is solid, but occasionally reveals the age of the source material. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, making it difficult to recommend this disc to anyone other than a genre enthusiast. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
