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.
不错很喜欢。为丁萌萌的演出多加一颗星。
没有无缘无故的恨 但爱应该是无私的 佐藤健挺帅的，但主要还是看阿布宽 311震后发生的故事，可以再拍20年
恩... 确实理解不了这片子所谓的深层理念，感觉像看了一部半科幻的文艺片
“不管再来几次，都请鼓起勇气，发出你们的声音吧。你们要发出比那些卑劣者更响亮、更理直气壮的声音。”
题材非常棒，人物描写很细节，对于灾后人物心理的前后差别也非常耐人寻味。就是反转太明显，从惠姨去世同福利社对峙那眼神就感觉八九不离十了。刑警也很多槽点，比如凶手披着长发没带手套这样都没留下证据。但总体而言还是一部值得一看的电影。
生活越来越好了
割裂感严重的一部电影，前后反差之大，我虽然看不懂，但我大受震撼
应该算是烂片，想起现在抢菜的上海市民，给个及格吧。
2022年4月12日观看。节奏把控的挺好。
被低估的一部佳作，片尾看到写在纸门上的那句“欢迎回来”，一度泪目。豆瓣现在只有677人看过，6.9分。估计部分低分是因受不了相对缓慢克制的叙事节奏。其实岛国在偏社会派风格的作品上一贯有着“于无声处听惊雷”的震撼。本片所要讨论的内核绝不仅仅只是救助金调查员和贫民间的纠葛，这场连环杀人案里可以说没有一个坏人，也没有一个赢家，造成如此结果的背后是制度与个体在不同衡量标准间长久冲突的爆发。Ps：女主清原果耶的表现甚至超过佐藤健。豆瓣里竟没标注女主儿时的扮演者，演技很赞，很好奇是谁，哈哈。
灾后重建的电影看了好几部，感觉还是庸才给我的印象最深。
感觉像看了好几部电影，一会喜剧，一会文艺，一会年代，一会科幻，一会现实主义，一会人文主义。宇宙观太大了吧
溺而待拯的，并无音声；疲于奔命的，难免失常。
王珞丹演啥都是一个性格，就是北京妞儿的样子，王传君倒不错，把一个木纳的专一的学医男生演的很好。导演不行哦，整个电影跟一40集电视剧解说似的，跟本杰明巴顿奇事差着修炼十年也达不到的距离。爱情、科幻、灾难、战争、家庭成长大杂货，不伦不类。只有最后老戏骨的镜头真的动人 ，其他真是，什么玩意儿啊。还一堆傻逼尬吹，如果是赚这五毛，我为你感到悲哀，如果是真心吹，那我更为你感到悲哀。人生没啥劲了。
这世界上，还有关心我的人，这是每天努力生存的意义。
我好像看过类似的剧情，挺鬼扯的，最后成了广告。装成这样，累不累
看了别人的评论才知道原来这是小说改编，ma，ano，有时候我还是不咋理解日本的思维，老人总想不给国家添麻烦，但实际上本来就造成了麻烦，而且社会福祉本来就应该是通过税收来调节财富来帮助需要被帮助的人。。。
雖然劇情很扯，但是都說了是“奇事”，我就當他合理吧。整個電影美術也好服化道也好，都是那個高度統一的風格，我不確定這是不是某種個人化的風格，反正很喜歡。故事傳遞的感情和態度我都接收到了，且被感動到哭泣，有一種時光回溯的感覺。
开始觉得两个小时的剧情太长，看完后，两个小时哪够。整一个魔幻现实主义的题材，永生的最高境界是记忆永存，相较之下，生死似乎不是多么可怕的事情了
我总觉着，人的生命还很漫长
