Summary

Jason Bourne is faced with an impossible mission. He has been hired to impersonate a high-level government minister at a political summit meeting in Qatar, shielding the minister from any assassination attempts. Suddenly, armed gunmen storm the room, killing everyone but Bourne. Their target, however, isn't the minister Bourne impersonates--it is Bourne himself. Kidnapped and transported to an underground bunker, Bourne finds himself face-to-face with an infamous terrorist named El Ghadan ("Tomorrow"). El Ghadan holds as his captive Soraya Moore, former codirector of Treadstone and a close friend to Bourne, along with her two-year-old daughter. Meanwhile, the president of the United States is in the midst of brokering a historic peace treaty between the Israelis and the Palestinians--an event that El Ghadan is desperate to prevent. He demands that Bourne carry out a special mission: kill the president. If Bourne refuses, Soraya and her daughter will die. Bourne must make a monstrous choice: save Soraya and her daughter, or save the President
