Mercedes Benz Stars in New "Unknown Identity" Action Thriller

Cinemas around the world have already begun playing a new action thriller, one that is packed with renown international actors and a fleet of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, six of them to be more precise. The film in question is called “Unknown Identity” and features leading actors Liam Neeson and Diane Kruger.

It was made by director Jaume Collet-Serra and producer Joel Silver in Berlin, Brandenburg, Leipzig and the Babelsberg studios in Potsdam.

"End of the 19th century the automobile and the cinema have been invented. Thanks to their fascination, Mercedes-Benz vehicles have a long tradition as heroes of the silver screen. They have written cinematic history above all in the role of taxis and attractive sports cars," said Anders Sundt Jensen, Vice President Brand Communication Mercedes-Benz Cars. "We are delighted that our 125th anniversary is being marked with no less than six Mercedes-Benz models appearing in an international blockbuster.”

The story goes like this: a nightmare begins when biologist Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) awakes from a coma following a serious car accident in Berlin. His wife (January Jones) does not recognize him and another man has taken on his identity. To compound matters, a killer (Stipe Erceg) is also on Harris's heels. In order to win back his wife and his former life, he seeks out taxi driver Gina (Diane Kruger), who rescued him in the accident. Together with her and former Stasi agent Jurgen (Bruno Ganz) he takes up the fight for his identity and the truth against an all-powerful adversary – including high-speed chases in Mercedes taxis.
