Matt Damon's spy thriller The Bourne Identity has become a streaming hit once again on Starz, capitalising on renewed interest in the actor following his acclaimed lead role in Christopher Nolan's ambitious adaptation of The Odyssey. The resurgence of interest in Damon's action catalogue demonstrates the spillover effect of a major blockbuster success, with fans revisiting his genre-defining earlier work.

Originally released with a $60 million production budget, The Bourne Identity grossed $214 million at the global box office—comprising $121 million domestically and $93 million from international markets—and ranked among the twenty highest-grossing films of its release year. The film now ranks among the ten most-streamed titles on Starz in the United States, benefiting from Damon's prominence following The Odyssey's record-breaking $1.7 billion box office run and widespread critical acclaim.
