UCLA college student Jonathan Moore (Anthony Edwards) is playing a game called "Gotcha" (popular on mid-1980s college campuses as "Assassin" or "Tag"), wherein the players are all assigned a mock "hit" on another player by use of a harmless paintball gun. Moore and his apartment roommate Manolo go on a vacation to Paris, France. After touring some of Paris, in a cafe Moore meets Sasha Banicek (Linda Fiorentino), a Czechoslovakian girl. Eventually, Jonathan has intercourse with Sasha, losing his virginity.
Jonathan decides to leave Manolo (who is heading to Spain) and go with Sasha to West Berlin to spend more time with her. Jonathan believes that he is in love with Sasha. There, Jonathan and Sasha continue to have sex and even go to an Oktoberfest beer gathering. One night, Sasha tells Jonathan that she has to go to East Berlin to pick up a package. One night after arriving in East Berlin, Sasha leaves their hotel room and walks to dark street corner. There, Sasha meets a German man who tells her the location of the pickup of her package. Meanwhile, Sasha was being monitored by a Soviet agent, who was sitting in a car at a distance. During the day, Sasha tells Jonathan that if she gives him a certain message, it means that he has to leave East Berlin immediately. At a cafe, Sasha gives Jonathan a package and says that a strudel is inside. A little later, Sasha tells Jonathan to meet her at the butcher shop near their hotel. All of a sudden, a Soviet agent begins to chase after Sasha. Sasha decides to use Jonathan (who is holding her package) to unknowingly get the package over to West Berlin. Meanwhile, Sasha is taken by the Soviet agent and East German secret police.
Jonathan goes to Checkpoint Charlie to cross the heavily fortified border into West Berlin. At the East German customs search, Jonathan is stripped of his clothes and given a cavity search. Meanwhile, Sasha is stripped and searched for possible espionage evidence. Vlad arrives at the border crossing to search for Jonathan, however Jonathan passes the border safely before he can be captured. Once in West Berlin, Jonathan feels liberated by the Westernized society. In the hotel, Jonathan receives a message from Sasha to meet him at a specified location. Jonathan finds out that his hotel room was broken into and robbed of his traveler's checks. Soviet agents eventually find Jonathan in West Berlin and chase him throughout a public park. Jonathan jumps into a water canal and manages to escape from the Soviets and stumbles upon a German rock group headed for Hamburg, who offer him a ride to the airport.
The rock group successfully get Jonathan to the airport (using full-face makeup to sneak him past a checkpoint) and Jonathan finally arrives in Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Airport and to his apartment. Soon, Vlad and a band of Soviet agents arrive too in Los Angeles. Once home, Jonathan stumbles upon a film canister, which was planted by Sasha. Jonathan visits his parents and tells them what happened in Germany but they cannot believe a word of it and think Jonathan is on drugs. Jonathan decides to call the FBI then the Central Intelligence Agency for help. Jonathan returns to find his apartment broken into and looted.
The CIA officer tells Jonathan to give them the photo film canister. At the Los Angeles headquarters of the CIA, Jonathan spots Sasha who looks like she was working there. Jonathan eventually meets up with Sasha. Sasha admits that she is Cheryl Brewster, a CIA agent, originally from Pittsburgh. Out of nowhere, Vlad and his gang begin to chase Jonathan and Cheryl on the UCLA campus. Jonathan eliminates all the Soviets with a tranquilizer gun which he gets from the campus veterinary sciences building. The Soviets are arrested, the CIA agents thank Jonathan for his (indirect) help in obtaining the film, and Sasha tells him she wants to continue their relationship.
After they part, Jonathan talks to a pretty student who rebuffs him coldly. As she walks away, he aims the tranquilizer pistol and shoots her in the rear.
量太大太撑了，印度电影就这点让我有点水土不服
看完以后我问老婆这部如何，她说：夏目友人帐看的是情怀，嗯，非常委婉的评价
印度电影又一个良心之作 到底什么是“真实”？ 现在的媒体再也做不到客观如一 作为政府的爪牙 媒体对大众的引导 造成舆情滔滔 不由得想起唐山事件 真相不能为统治阶级服务 而应该平等传递给普通百姓
公众的情绪那么容易被操纵吗？易如反掌。
不知道什么时候印度电影的现实主义成了个标签，主要题材好，就能捧上天。
三哥社会问题拼盘大串烧。屏幕前的观众就如屏幕里的屁民一样容易煽动，电影开始时候被煽动一次，电影结尾时候又被煽动一次。
电影拍摄手法不行，节奏很怪，配乐也是乱七八糟的，莫名其妙地悬疑，莫名其妙地煽情MV，感觉导演好像没怎么拍过电影。
不必崇拜阿三的电影，若是没有层层的迷雾笼罩，这片天空抬头望也有繁星，只是雾霭茵茵，何以见星！
纪实了一些东西吧。里面反应的社会问题有很多，也符合我国情况，不过这些问题我们已经意识到了，至少已经关注到了，所以没有收获。
是太久没见的错觉么 感觉夏目贵志同学长大了一点
不喜欢印度电影的节奏和摄影手法 但是意义是ch无法企及的 起码ch现在已经没有奔赴前线揭露真相的媒体了 我们从不缺乏“每一份光” 但是我们缺乏发光发热的地方
节奏有点慢，观点蛮尖锐，印度政府还比较自由啊，这也能上映
8.5分，不愧是擅长扇耳光的民族，扇得那个脑回路啊跟拨浪鼓似的
一部我在简中边偷乐边等续集的电影，导演别逼我求你。
不剧透，太精彩！对咱们也有深刻的警示意义。
瑕不掩瑜，真相一步步反转，但普通人真的很容易被舆情牵着鼻子走，尤其是像血气方刚的学生，最容易被当作棋子。
是一个很好的剧本，只是节奏不太好。透过不正义手段去追求所谓“正义的结果”，并试图以此将过程合理化，是一件危险的事情。
/2022.6.29/非常理想化，但确实真的勇啊！
砍过树没有？我砍过。
首先夸配乐。大气又紧迫感十足。
