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.
…拍得太模式化脸谱化了，社会性+足量的煽情+戏剧化。
这选材也太好了。虽然情节还是寻常拍法，更细致处根本无从顾及，显得异常浅平，但它阐释的是千帆阅尽后和启程前的两种选择和视野，这实在是拍不尽的母题。（也很好哭）其实要多拍点鱼就更好，不然显得导演利用鱼的功利心也太重了。
章鱼的墨写出来的字会发亮，但随着时间慢慢褪色，听说放进海里会重新变黑：一半黑时犹有骨，十分红处便成灰
因为曾经看见过在黑暗中闪闪发光的人，所以总不免带着一点天真的想法，觉得或许陆地还有希望。
故事内核是有力量的，但怎么说呢，就拍的很美国个人英雄主义

揭露了半天屁用都没有 低种姓贱民命如草芥的现状也没有得到什么改变 而且神勇律师给自己加戏太多了 印度的许多社会新闻都让人怀疑穿越到了1000年前
几度哽咽：永远不要漠视底层的艰辛；永远敬佩那些坚守良知捍卫正义的人；让那些灭绝人性的衣冠禽兽见鬼去吧……
好像在看邻居的电影，但到处是我们自己的影子。好像在读过去的历史，其实讲的又是今天的故事。所有焦虑和挣扎的源头，不过是如何过好这一生。
前半段真好哦~淳朴的民风，人文气息浓厚，配以水墨画风~轻盈而美好~但是下半段昌大入仕之后，又转为韩式国类型片的套路之中，轻盈不再~心中充满理想的少年当然不能理解看破本质的先生，大可以不用这么激烈的呈现~有点遗憾
薄荷糖觉得丑的薛景求在这部古装里居然五官端正的帅。开眼了，因为天主教被流放，流放可以吃海鲜，再到最后不需要王的世界升华。太扎实了，黑白进一步加强了质感。#老地方观影
质感很好，但看着就像童话，还是那句话，圣人的故事不精彩也不感人，这电影里面甚至能有好几个圣人
太长了，印度电影有时候长是必要的，但这部长是没必要的，尤其是前面交代背景部分。老毛病吧，非要充三个小时。
妻子一次次不畏强权，被部落首领威胁，警察威胁，更高地位的人威胁，数次以为她，一个失去丈夫，怀孕带着女儿的农村妇女即将对命运妥协，拿着协商的钱，过下半生时，她都选择挺起胸脯站起来，与其说是律师伸张正义，不如说是颠覆低种族人的一种反抗。
太牛逼了，看看人家印度这电影，全程2小时40分钟我甚至都不舍得暂停一秒钟。印度是有它的缺点，但是更需要有人说出真相，这样才能反思，才能在微弱中有所改变，哪怕一点点也好。结合今天看到的某大导演要拍史诗级英雄片的消息，也就只能苦笑一下了。
有更多可挖掘的人物事件
这部影片实在是很一般。探讨的内容早已不新鲜，也很流于表面，但不得不说商业化很成功。部分说教台词写得也很精辟，给人一种文化底蕴丰厚的假相，和韩国整个文化产业的基调相同。热评一说得很好，本该是我们拍出的东西。但我们的导演编剧都在干嘛，这也许是一种浪费文化的惩罚？
好故事，只可惜所有配角的表演方式和人物设置过于程式化脸谱化——不过这也是韩国电影的某种特色吧。
基督教、孔子老子、論語……中西洋結合的一部韓國片。不過沒敢說孔子老子是韓國人😊
