With the approval of author Robert Ludlum, Doug Liman began adapting his novel Espionage in 2002. Memory in the skinwhose amnesiac hero Jason Bourne discovers extraordinary abilities and a troubled past as a secret agent.
After considering a wide range of actors to play the main role – from Russell Crowe to Matthew McConaughey via Brad Pitt or even Sylvester Stallone – his choice finally fell on Matt Damon.

Espionage enters the 21st century, betting on collective paranoia, effective twists, but also an impressive physical performance from Matt Damon, who performs his own stunts (including when he runs down the facade of a building with his bare hands). 20 meters).
