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.
故事普通，情节细腻，男主演技大赞！应该有缘小金人。
马赫沙拉阿里演技稳啊，张驰有度，有点儿黑人Tom Hanks的意思了，这拿个男主小金人也很有希望了。至于剧情其实挺老套的，但是科技呈现和音乐审美真的是Apple水准，另单独给装修设计点赞
Always have ,and always will
😅在戏剧性和肥皂剧之间还是回归了肥皂剧……
实验地的环境是真好，不知道那里有没有蚊子。
软科幻背景下，没有多关注克隆的人伦道德，只专注了一个主题就是爱，设定比较老套，但感情还是实在的感受到了
8.5
人类还是多学习怎么告别吧，逃避可耻，反对复制
科幻外壳下的温情片，人始终在学习的是道别。
所以可以注定爱一个人吗，可以被安排爱一个人吗，克隆人是自己还是他自己？
从故事类型到叙事风格，整体与亚历克斯·加兰非常相似。｜7.0
2022 #04。披着科幻外衣的文艺片。如果你在青年或者中年时生命即将走到尽头，你是否愿意把自己的记忆传输给一个跟自己长得一模一样的克隆人，让他代替你陪伴你的家人和即将出世的孩子活下去，而你一个人孤独的走向人生的尽头？电影给了一个温暖的答案。无论未来的科技有多么发达，都永远无法打败“爱”的力量。阿里的演技很细腻，期待能在奥斯卡有所斩获。奥卡菲娜的戏份不多但是最后在病床上的那场戏还是很打动我。
那么如果社会关系不变，肉身变化，人是不是还是那个人呢？
观影过程中，脑海的故事已经与这部电影无缝链接了。
家里好会装啊，阿里好会穿啊，卫衣衬衫羽绒服瓜皮帽在他身上搭一下咋这么好看。其余剧情，节奏，让人昏昏欲睡。
3.5颗星，其中0.5颗星给那辆很抢镜的自动车。
感動，但是也覺得傷心……
优：中年男人默默扛下一切~为了爱的人，坦然面对死亡~风景加分
近几年软科幻冷门佳片。不得不说，在这方面美国做得比国内好。沉得下心来，又有新认知，有新世界观架构。最重要的，虽然属于小成本，但制作精良。
和《缉魂》对照着看，影片做了反高潮和去类型化，但并不就意味高级，信息量还是太少了，情节走向既然这么的光明正面，做戏空间就少了。
