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.
三星半 名字有点misleading 实则是披着谍战外衣的爱情片
电影反转还是可以的，比之前那部承包商好一点，但是毫无动作场面我也是无语，完全是话痨片。不过漏洞还是比较大的，比如到底男主角的目的是啥、前面那么正经的训话也就对不上了，感觉看到最后就为了爱情而爱情。
四星（7.9分）。悬疑气氛拿捏很好，劫机事件、民族矛盾、恐怖主义、国家安全危机，一系列宏大题材撑起了故事的前三分之二，吊足胃口，正期待一个悲怆大气的结局，没想到竟然归于男女情爱，格局一下从天上掉到了地下。故事性直降一档。导演技术是一流的，节奏把控完美，剪辑牛掰。表演满分。不失为佳作，值得一看。
…？（有没有人知道片尾曲叫什么哪里可以听啊！！！！全片最棒就是这首歌了啊！！
因为爱所以爱。。。反转再反转！还不错的悬疑电影，节奏稍稍有点儿慢，别人问我克里斯派恩咋就辣么老呢，我说老外年轻时候显老，老了不显老！这种电影就不能剧透。。。就是整不明白怎么就宝刀未老了呢？😜哪把刀啊？
1小时42分的电影（含片尾5分钟）看到1小时17分才入戏，入戏后才发现人物动机牵强，包括男主、男主老板，男主太装，既然为了爱人干嘛还还要绕那么大一圈来表达爱意?男主老板怀疑男主，为什么绕一大圈来除掉男主?
前半段有点闷，中后段很给力，相当好的剧本，有意思的摄影。克里斯派为什么老成这样，还能用璀璨的蓝眼睛蛊人！
插叙倒叙正叙，再怎么叙，也掩盖不了表达的浅显与苍白。传统题材想出彩确实太难了！
要不是为了看派派，我绝对不可能翻到它。
叫“为爱放弃一切”或者“中年人的办公室爱情”不行吗？
出卖“进攻计划和机上同志”是不可饶恕的罪过。但如果能够及时说清楚，不至于判死罪。
一部CIA叛谍情史，披着谍战外衣的爱情片。最后气氛渲染的真可以，不禁为之感到无奈和伤感。
男人为了爱选择背叛组织，女人为了良心离开了男人，BOSS只要杀了那个叛徒，不需要解释。
zzzq，非得给帅哥派恩安排个这样的女友～冤冤相报何时了，明明可以冤有头债有主，非得下这么大一盘棋～面包师傅脑洞也是开得大～
我挺喜欢这部剧的，倒叙+插叙，除了衰老的妆效不太自然之外，色彩，剧情，演技都在，里面没有哪个画面的出现是多余的，挺紧凑，作为悬疑片，爱情太多了，我感觉就是一部爱情片呢……
猜到了开头没猜到结尾，爱情和悬疑气氛一波三折还是很浓很有看头的。
所以这部电影的情节是真的复杂啊。
实在是太闷了，看着打瞌睡。不过，后面10分钟还是好看。男主深情过头，丢了性命。果然情深不寿。不建议看这电影。
所以这部电影的情节是真的复杂啊。
以为是什么惊天地的谍战片，原来是一部泣鬼神的爱情片。不过挺喜欢这种穿插倒叙的叙事方式。想看动作又悬疑的话，还是绕路吧。
