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.
目前来说，今年最好的电影来自印度、有创造自由的国家值得尊重，能把问题摆上台面拍成电影推动的是整个社会的进步！最后不得不说，年轻人失去血性是最大的悲哀。这条路有尽头吗，我们都像这个世界的傀儡—歌词的绝望，希望也孕育而生…
后半程的法庭表演扳回一些也无力回天，
确实是不错，让人有很多的触动和思考，如果后面没有那么多政治元素，也许会更好一点。
立意超高的电影，案中案，反转又反转，寻求正义的群众看完会高潮的那种爽片——只不过最后揭秘副警督和律师的背景那部分可以不要，对于一部宣传社会正义的价值观，应当是法理和道德律双重约束下的群体性正义，是如同片名（也是印度国歌）的《Jana Gana Mana（人民的意志）》，而不应当是因果报应这种玄学命理，那就格局小了；尤其是还要暗搓搓铺垫续集的引子，唉，那格局简直是开始歪了……
21世纪会是印度的世纪，越南电影也分级了，都在进步！
由性犯罪到学阀制下的学术垄断，抽丝剥茧却原来都是政治的筹码，法庭陈述还请诸位对照观看，看的我是无味杂陈、肝气郁结。是什么时候左邻与右舍开始甩开我们，叩问反思、揭露针砭，谁是宿敌？正义，还是tm的正义；人民，还是tm的人民！
每次看印度电影都为这个民族感到悲哀，语言是文化的根，但印度已经丧失了语言独立性，印地语掺杂英语听着很奇怪，更奇怪的是，他们还觉得特光荣，总是嘲笑中国人英语发音。庭审过程中，为了凸显辩方律师，控方检察官和法官被塑造成傻子，导演试图通过一场庭审表达诸多东西，但很多不符合庭审规则，像是一出马戏。
宿敌（豆瓣评分8.7）
一再刷新印度政治的黑暗度 知道黑 原来还是有更黑 2855
环环相扣，层层反转，剧本超棒，导演敢拍，主演给力，非常震撼！羡慕不来！想到我们唐山暴力毒教材横行广西调剂及那些光明正大的爱咋咋地，如鲠在喉！在良心面前，没有少数服从多数的法则。如果裁决必须依照律法，那首先得保障这个制度的公平正义。恐惧没有阻挡他们，因为他们有一个梦想要征服。星星之火可以燎原！自由万岁！
纪实了一些东西吧。里面反应的社会问题有很多，也符合我国情况，不过这些问题我们已经意识到了，至少已经关注到了，所以没有收获。
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
总有人追求公平正义。
这么一来，拍这么一部电影，不光不会被封杀，还有可能专门拨款助力向全世界推广呢。
本来是奔着娱乐放松来的，这部不适合用来放松。
★★★☆ 情绪电影。虽然在当前环境中起不到什么决定性作用，但能发声去表达总是好事。
负责查案的副督察未审即处决了4名疑似强奸焚尸女教师的嫌犯，得到了舆论的广泛支持，在法理上说破天也是不合法的。但这只是冰山一角，冰山之下真正的实情令人瞠目。拍得比较煽情，宿敌的前世恩怨没充分交待，剧情似乎没完，拍成连续剧可能更好。剧情揭示的意义可以有很多，比较重要的一条是，舆论是可煽动可摆布的，平民的所见并非即所得。对于没有底线的政客来说，浑水摸鱼的方法简直有一万种。
“你们坐的椅子是有历史的，不是坐在上面的那些人的历史，而是站起来的那些人的历史。”年轻人们，站起来吧。反转过于频繁，情节密得过分，就很刻意，失去真实和震撼感。瑕不掩瑜，主题还是高分。
片头光感谢的名单就放了2分钟，注定了这是一部不简单的片子，自编自导自演，太敢拍了，政治、阶级的遮羞布统统撤掉。第一次160分钟的片子还嫌短了。
