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.
太久没看柯南了，看评分这么高慕名来看，整体破案真相可谓令人挠破头都想不到，因为太扯了...悬念制造的还是挺好的，果然最后不扯的话逻辑无法圆下来。出场人物众多，补充了很多主线上的伏笔。隔了快十年没看，没想到新一和小兰才亲上，哈哈，也真是唏嘘，满脑子都是自己当初看柯南时的悸动。
索金的编剧、叙事剪辑和场面调度处处展现匠工 舞台剧一般戏剧性的冲突在如今美国现状份外切题 年轻的检察官问，“你对你的政府有意见吗？”abbie最终的回答是，“在这个国家，我们每四年实践一次。” 还有更好的答案？
艾伦索金的政治倾向真是个迷……而我已经对这种要做爱不要作战的口号式表面热血完全无感了。
最近无意中连看了几场法庭辩论类的电影，只有这一部看的人热血沸腾，而且是在其余故事线极为淡薄的情况下，把法庭戏份拍得如此精彩。末尾让我想起了《辩护人》的感觉，但是是不同的处理，这里的诠释正如最后一句台词：全世界都在看着！是一种强烈的共鸣感。
预料中的年度群戏。这角色也太适合Mark Rylance了，跟一群男子混在一起，可以发脾气，教训人，还有点神经兮兮的。
喜欢小雀斑饰演的汤姆海登这个角色，有克制，有理智，有热血，有情义。
熟悉的艾伦索金味道，高密度台词+政治题材，法庭上的唇枪舌战，配合着事件回顾和真实影像的蒙太奇，看得人确实很激动
犀利的文本无法掩盖镜头语言的贫乏，导致说教变得刻意而令人难受
3.5，结构能联想到《十二宫》，索金显然从芬奇那里学到了很多。影像上营造的表现力显然高于事件本身，雕刻痕迹也更重。
对话没有含金量，较量不精彩，制作水平中下，剧情拖沓。
你藐视你的政府吗？
导演尽量发挥自己的台词优势，剪切凌厉，但只是浮于表面，看得人昏昏欲睡
哇好棒的电影，这么繁杂的故事都被讲得明明白白~这个故事告诉我们司法系统、警察什么的如果没有完善体制，难道要指着执行人的道德约束吗？那怎么可能靠得住。这个可怕的一个人（没有基本人格人品的人）居然能当上大法官，成功让司法和行政搅和在一起，成为权力游戏的走狗，这难道不违宪？你们引以为傲的三权分立又在哪里呢。

虽然很多人不太喜欢艾伦·索金，可我就是看他写的东西觉得爽啊。而且这次的案件，仿佛就是一个纪录片一般。场景穿插也比较好理解了，庭上辩护也是精彩的。但是看多了律政类案件的我就想问，不能换法官？这么biased法官，不能提审换一个么，可烦死我了。
能面对自己，拍出这种题材的影片就已经是一种自由自信让人羡慕
索金的剧本就不吹了，但他对于自己的剧本依然无法进行取舍，整部电影仍然是被剧本支配带着跑，铺陈满密集对白和庞大信息量的法庭辩论、会议演讲、示威游行以及纪录片段，没有给予片刻让观众停下来思考喘息，你知道它所批判所要表达的，但影片结束后并不会被感染不会被煽动不会去反思，这是电影技法和视听的失败不是剧本的。在看的时候一直会想要是大卫芬奇、贝尼特米勒或者原定的绿草或老斯来处理这个剧本会是什么样？
艾伦索金的台词像子弹，字字句句冲击到脑门。政局的荒唐、司法的不公正、流血冲突到底为了什么……一遍遍质问。当最终海登念出4572个牺牲在越战泥坑的士兵名字时，答案揭晓：就是为了最初的正义，反对战争，一切政治手段不该到良心面前扯浑水。
当然仅代表我个人偏见~
