Only the basics of Unknown will be discussed so as not to give away key elements of the plot twist**

 

Dr. Martin Harris (Neeson) and his wife, Elizabeth (January Jones), arrive in Berlin for a biotech conference at which Dr. Harris is a featured speaker. Upon pulling up to their luxurious hotel in a cab, Martin discovers his briefcase has been left behind at the airport. In a panic, he hails another cab and heads back to retrieve his briefcase, which contains his research and money for the trip along with his wallet and passport.

Martin's second taxi ride of the business trip ends in a horrible accident that sends the cab flying off a bridge and into an icy river. Gina the cab driver (Diane Kruger) manages to free him from the sinking cab and hauls him to the shore. Once there, emergency workers take over and Gina takes off. Martin comes to four days later in a Berlin hospital with a foggy memory and no ID. He knows his name, and is immediately alarmed by the fact his wife isn't there at his bedside.

Disobeying his doctor's orders, Martin hurries back to the hotel to find his wife. The hotel staff is leery of letting him into the biotech conference, however he insists his wife will be able to verify his identity. It's a total shock then when Liz not only fails to recognize him but he discovers another man is claiming to be Dr. Martin Harris (Aidan Quinn). Liz backs up the second Dr. Harris' story which leaves the still-confused Martin Harris either convinced Liz is being held hostage and forced to respond in such a bizarre manner or that he's suffering from some form of amnesia.

Martin pursues answers to the baffling question of why people are insisting he's not who he says he is, enlisting the help of an ex-Stasi officer-turned-private-investigator (Bruno Ganz) and an extremely hesitant Gina who's got issues of her own to deal with and doesn't want any unnecessary attention.
