"The Bourne Identity" is a 1988 miniseries adaptation of Robert Ludlum's novel "The Bourne Identity".
The film follows the storyline of the novel, with a rather long run-time (3 hours 5 min). With commercials added, the running time was extended to four hours, and the film was first shown on ABC in two two-hour installments over two nights.
Differences between the book and this film:a) The undercover identity of Jason Bourne is simplified. In the book, David Webb, pretends to be Jason Bourne, who operates as an assassin called Cain. In the film, the name Cain is left out.b) the ending is somewhat different. In the book, Carlos escapes in the confusion, whereas in the film he is gunned down by David Webb at the last moment.
In 2002, a Hollywood remake of "The Bourne Identity" was released, with sequels "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum" released in 2004 and 2007 respectively. The first film was based loosely upon the original Ludlum source novel. The sequels used original stories and did not follow the Ludlum source novels.
