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.
红拂的临期商品；夜奔的小资咖啡——全程沪语、中西混血的正宗海派风情，出自一位非上海的女导演之手，嗲额！剧本也是老卵，金字金句接踵而至，不乏唯上海人才能听懂的本土笑料。
怎么说呢，能拍出来就非常不错，能展示这样的过程，能有勇于认错的警察，能够倾听真相的法官，已经胜过无数，期待我们也能
雪天一盆火，苦药一勺糖。有房、离异、文艺、颓唐，不爱出厅堂，挺会下厨房。男人共情的是我熬了半辈子鲫鱼汤也该老来one night stand，女人幻想的是我倔了几十年总会有半个肩膀一袋吃食。沪上当然是精致的摆盘，但每一个要素都戳在普通话审美霸权的肋眼上，你能怎么样呢？导演一等一聪明，端上一锅老少咸宜浓淡适中的汤。微信里来来回回差半步就是油腻，牺牲了老乌总算是有了妥当的圆场。中国每年应该有十部这样的作品，一不小心让它出头了，其实真不是故意的。
反转确实没想到，民意是真的很好被操作，三哥真敢拍，方方面面的黑暗都涉及了，而我们只能看看。
PS：最后来个复仇情节属实没必要。
一波三折，编剧牛掰！涉及到女权、学术霸凌、种姓、警察、政治选举都多个话题。
1. 电影是好电影，题材由点及面涉及很多热点话题（很难不联想到我国一些事，所以你的国家我的国家大家都一样）情节跌宕多重反转，法庭戏不少台词都是能截图永留存的水平，缺点也有，时长疲惫，音乐铺得太满（毕竟印度电影）；2.“一个国家的尊严等同于它给女性的尊严”（道理都懂但我就是不改系列）；3.法律是道德的底线，刑法是法律的底线，然而这中间还有一条隐形的线叫程序正义，可迟来的正义还算得上正义吗；4.你以为的事实有时只是别人想让你看到的事实，无论哪个时代哪个国家，媒体都应该是真相的传声筒而非政治的喉舌；5.年轻人切忌过度激进或温水煮蛙，任何时候都不要急着站队，有时间多学习，不要在微博自诩判官；6.每每看到别的国家拍出这样的电影，我们总是会思考我国的审查与尺度并痛恨薛定谔的404（叹气）；7.陈思诚👌
这题材也太敢拍了吧，第三重反转开始没看懂，坐等靠谱博主出来解说。中国的电影真的还有很大的进步空间
小女孩不爱带嘤，义呆梨家族企业在义务，老乌是为国争光彩旗飘飘，乳化什么乳化啊。。。
最后烘托气氛有点三而竭的感觉，扣分。
像是伍迪艾伦的对话机锋和文青自嘲，加上是枝裕和的生活细节，轻巧又妥帖。不会爱得要命，但看完后心情很好，这才是令人惬意的圣诞夜小品嘛。全程上海话特别好，是浓浓的在地气息，也是接地气不悬浮的生活感来源。小皮匠的咖啡时间是上海，骑着共享单车买外贸裤衩是生活。
这真的是处女作吗？
小女孩不爱带嘤，义呆梨家族企业在义务，老乌是为国争光彩旗飘飘，乳化什么乳化啊。。。
2小时30分，再次反转，之后应该没有反转了吧，律师果然是男主。
那是片尾点题的爱情神话。
印度又一部瑕不掩瑜的牛逼电影，一位女教师的死亡，牵扯出一系列对于女性、教育、媒体、司法和政治的深刻探讨，台词写的可真好…印度电影越来越敢拍而且越来越会拍，羡慕完韩国已经开始羡慕印度了，人家在话题和尺度上，就已经让我们望尘莫及了…
至少敢拍，能拍，还能放映，超了几条街了吧。如果警方定不了罪，那把他们当场释放咯，看看人民的愤怒是不是能撕了那四个人头。如果不能，这就是没血性的名族，也就不用去辛苦定罪了。还十四年，强奸，谋杀，焚烧毁尸，想想都气。知道为什么权贵帮他们四个人吗，不光是他们帮权贵做事，而且权贵也会追求刺激做出和那四个人一样的事情，所以当然他们轻拿轻放了。还有一开始的时候，上面老头一派胡言，竟然不敢扔鞋子，还谈什么读书人，百无一用
咱就是说，印度这个老嫂子，电影是真敢拍啊。这高分基本都是给题材大胆的吧！电影还是印度套路，歌舞部分不多，剧情反转反转再反转，政治，媒体，女性，种族歧视等等，都涉及。四分
中年人的爱情戏最好看。
印度悬疑群像也做得这么精彩了，反转反转反转，我作为观众有几分像小丑。当然留下的几处疑点还是被我精准捕捉到了。
