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.
阿三又一次拍出了我们拍不了也拍不出的电影，如无意外，应该可以提前预订个人年度观影十佳了。
一部我在简中边偷乐边等续集的电影，导演别逼我求你。
细节很差，也没啥深度，好在哪里呢？全都是一个模子的商业化拍法，已经审美疲劳了。
确实是不错，让人有很多的触动和思考，如果后面没有那么多政治元素，也许会更好一点。
太冗长了，而且学生会那个女的，还有那四个罪犯莫名就让人痛恨，以至于后面揭开了幕后，还是感觉前面那几个人可恨，观感不好
印度电影标准反转，略拖沓,庭审部分有些降智，差点看不下去。结尾些许潦草
非常厉害用女教授被害案为引子，引出了一连串的社会和制度问题，教授不合理剥削学生，警察勾结政客，政客民主选举作梗，无明说的种姓歧视，操纵媒体舆论造势引流，正义公正的行使方式，道德审判与法律审判的区别，这些时代热点话题全都点到并且用生动的情节演绎了出来。此外利用叙事技巧，一直成功的引导观众往期望的方向上联想，一次是重新复盘女教授死亡的可能性（前面适当埋设了伏笔），一次用几句台词重新改写警察全部的行为动机（最后将警察的行为圆回来感觉是为了保持高尚人设的一致性），都算是比较厉害的反转了。最后印度电影的刻意煽情，是唯一美中不足的地方了。
-彼时彼刻？-恰如此时此刻。-竟能如此相像？-像，太像了，不过你比他缺了一样东西。-不会是脸上的麻子吧？-当然不是，【你不会装糊涂】
2、提问的人被戴上了镣铐，指责的人也被戴上了镣铐，说谁呢这是！😅😅
一部电影浓缩了很多焦点问题，在看的过程直呼过瘾。认可网友的评论。它的其他意义远远大于电影悬疑的意义。
案中案，局中局，套中套。法庭上的反转，原来所谓的正义不过一场作秀！所谓的英雄不过是政治筹码！眼见一定为实吗？大众舆论一定是对的吗？一个个屏幕背后是人是鬼又有谁知，不过是愚人愚己，纵横之术罢了。
又是国内没法立项，立项也没人投资，投资也没法拍完，拍完也没法过审的电影。国内编剧老是抱怨悬疑剧太难拍，来看看人家怎么先扬后抑，反转再反转的。说说剧情吧，终于有部电影触及印度社会的根源问题：种姓制度。这种与社会脱节落后的种族制度，才是造成印度各种社会恶象的根源。希望这部电影带来的些许影响，真的是可以推动历史的车轮再往前行进少许，而不是像电影内容一样，被权力裹挟着的舆论，变成统治的工具，风口浪尖潮起潮落，都只是掌权者的余兴节目。总的来说，故事是真的好，但是煽情方面还是差了点，可能和叙事结构也有关系，五星没问题，瑕不掩瑜。
妇女地位问题、教育问题、种姓问题、政治问题等等，诸多问题汇于一炉却丝毫不显凌乱，除了韩国电影，现在连印度电影都这么敢拍了……
阿三哥都开始反思自己的民主制度了。看短评好多脑瘫都在这电影面前自卑自己的制度了。也是，所谓民主西方世界，也就有一些好电影充门面了。
印度导演们也太喜欢用慢动作了。。。去掉五首歌，去掉所有慢动作（勉强保留一两处）删减精简前半场冗长的情绪积累（有的是办法积累情绪）90分钟快节奏叙事，将会是一个更nb的电影。“媒体报道真相，还是媒体说的就是真相”这剧台词真心屌。
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。
除了种姓和出身，研究生导师的权力太大，与学生不平衡的关系也是蛮重要的点
民意裹挟之下，何为真相？腐败的校园，阴暗的政治，法治的缺位。多重反转的结尾，何时社会才能真正民主
我们都懂，国人对外语片最高的评价是“真敢拍啊”
题材非常的敏感，警察、政治、网络、暴动、女性、教育等，啥都沾一些，可以说是非常地胆大包天了。不过，也正是这种啥都要的取舍，导致影片最后几分钟才简述式地圆了事情原委，就是为了复仇嘛(却把自我权利觉醒摆上街头)。法官毫无理由的出现与先知，太过于主角加成了。然后警官的堕落与自我觉醒，演技不够，也太过生硬。
