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.
法庭上的几段话真的精彩，振聋发聩！可是几千年的糟粕真的很难改变。
如果真是这么拍，就真的敢拍。
前一小半会让人觉得是不是配不上这个片子的分数，就很流水账，中段以为是逼王出马的寻常桥段，拍着拍着就逐渐从理想主义抡铁锹的爽剧套路，慢慢走向精巧，这时才会发现导演编了一个大扣，增加的开放式结尾反而让这部片子上了一个台阶。有被导演秀到。对很多方面的讨论对于中国观众是比较能刺激到的。中国拍不出来是肯定的。
感觉比起《杰伊·比姆》来，还是差一些，但依然优秀。
良心发现，英雄出现，民众狂欢。
不够深刻，学术腐败，政治肮脏，新闻操控，民众情绪利用，人权平等各种蜻蜓点水，大杂烩一锅端，总体感觉有点凌乱。但至少能拍，有点韩国内味了。
印度都能拍出这种水平电影了，庭审部分相当精彩。
又是厚厚的剧本呀，将三个事件串联，虽然庭审戏份很燃，很有力量，还是偏舞台剧式了一点，比较刻板。不过这种电影的共情力就是很强的，加上印度电影中总是富有信念感的群戏，就会把这份共情愈加放大。电影还是不错的。
还行。。节奏比较差，mv式的片段太多了。。时长可以减少四五十分钟。两小时以内会比较好。
我们作为人类命运共同体的提出者，首先应该从正视这些重要问题开始，发挥我们民众的集体智慧，关注讨论并解决我们自己的问题，进而为整个世界的发展贡献一点实践经验，而不是这类命题的讨论也不允许，禁止人们自救，只能眼睁睁看着大环境败坏下去，那样，我们连自己都不能得救，何谈为全人类指路。
虽然冗长又有许多逻辑硬伤，但反转写得还不错，就是最后两位主角的身份揭秘太快太乱，完全可以剪掉前边很多重复的慢镜头来充实这部分，可以看得出主创的爱国心，印度电影开始走出自己的道路了，恭喜
结尾随即陷入无尽的仓促生硬反转之中。
前半程之冗余也让节奏崩作一盘稀泥，
4+ 社会议题大杂烩的政治爽片。反转只是形式，复仇也是形式，核心是，当全民事件转化成运动，暴力+宣传机器被开动以操控民意，这里头最不重要的就是那件事本身，如果不是内部反水，你永远都不知道自己的情绪是为谁所用。
开场其实觉得会得奖的，只是渐渐地……就是说，又一部印度神剧呀！
故事线和节奏都挺不错，后半部分庭审有点李狗嗨的意思了。不过就是镜头剪得有些碎，而且音效实在不能适应。
一碗丰盛的麻辣烫，有女性议题，政治议题，媒体议题……警察冲动杀人确实一开始就不可信，果然反转了，律师那么神能弄明白事件全过程也不可信，后面也圆回来了，除了结尾有点理想主义喊口号，前面都很好，政治🟰黑暗，在哪个国家都是一样的，至少印度端出来这么一碗诚意满满的麻辣烫（不输韩国）而且，画面还蛮干净，真的是第一次见到……
现实主义题材作品。不过就是把我们不敢摆在台面上的题材拍成了电影而已，但就是这一点，我们可能永远也无法通过审核。
大 烂 片 不 用 多 说 听 配 乐 ... 非要说也是一言难尽
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。
