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.
硬核老派西部片，有血有肉，不宣扬，不做作。7.5+，多半分，敬情怀。
有時候你想平靜，路人未必給你平靜，危險處處存在，不訓練兒子應該是特錯大錯，弱肉強食的世界，你弱就淘汰。
冷静，克制但不拖泥带水，美丽的西部世界，有太多传奇的悲歌
他一袭白衣白裤从《巴斯特·斯克鲁格斯的歌谣》乘着歌声的翅膀飘到此地隐居，赔命为跃跃欲试的“生姜”演示了江湖玩命的“老姜”风范，树林里探头探脑的决斗舞步表演得惟妙惟肖。
有什么呢只有钱你信不信
波和麦金尼在门廊，加勒特闯进屋子，开了两枪...
枪战部分还算干脆利落
美国平民的持枪习惯是有历史依据的，电影不太行。
铺垫草率不可怕，可怕的是还给你来个自以为是热血结尾你受得了吗？
亨利的老婆一定非常美丽，才能生出这么漂亮的孩子。虽然亨利很厉害，但是孩子也没有好好教育一下，不知道他之后能不能生存下去。
昔日的孤胆英雄，迟暮的不可饶恕，没有一个女性角色，可能这就是西部吧。
Who I am ? I am nobody.
西部题材的小品，短小精悍，尤其是最后揭示出比利小子的身份，于是顺理成章变成了英雄看破江湖后隐退的主题。文化迥异，就像美国人不一定理解黄飞鸿，我对比利小子也不会激动到颤抖。罪恶之源还是贪念，明明选定了余生道路，看到一包现金，还是伸出了手。所以，这不是英雄隐退，还是逃犯亡命。只不过西部就是弱肉强食，美国人只看武功好不好，不以道德水准论英雄。传统崩塌英雄难觅的今天，把经典ip拍出这种衍生水准，也难得。
隐士的高手被世界重新发现的时候，有好结局的似乎不多
最后的中枪，好比英雄迟暮。其实也是西部片的现状，一声回响。7.5
这实在是一部为老西部片迷献上的电影，无论是压力层层累积直至结尾集中爆发的经典结构，还是中正大气的影像呈现和纯男角的人物组合，都可自然勾连进过往的西部片记忆，而且其为核心情节设置的障眼法，更是瞄准西部片迷的某种自负和盲点，反转效果加倍。剧本主线陈旧但扎实，反转以及反转之后的人物最终落点，则为整个故事引出了属于自己的光彩，传奇终逝，但流淌在血液中的野性和坚韧自会顽强延续。蒂姆·布雷克·尼尔森的演绎很不错挺加分。
十分硬核和老派的西部电影，全程一直担心儿子会死，没想到最后是比利小子死了。。。
每當西部片中的少年變成了牛仔，男孩變成了男人，也就意味著可以結束了。簡單的故事無法抵銷對西部片的熾熱情懷。沒有女主但有女人。
西部风格，悠远辽阔。大爷虽离江湖已远，但大爷还是那个大爷。
西部片还是很耐看的，在隐忍中爆发，电光火石之间局势逆转
