    Story Synopsis:
    The 1988 made-for-television movie "The Bourne Identity" stars Richard Chamberlain as Jason Bourne, a man with no past. After being washed up to shore, Jason wakes to find that has no memory of his past life. With no clues to his identity but the number of a Swiss bank account embedded in his hip, he discovers that he has a natural talent for survival that suggests something of a sinister life. After making his way to Zurich, Jason finds himself on the run from others who want to destroy him.
