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.
有点像散文的小说，又像是小说一样的诗歌。时光流转，没有宏大叙事，不过就是一家几口人的日常。前半段总觉得女主很不开心，忧郁似乎要溢出屏幕，连这深蓝寒冷的夜晚都无法稀释包裹似的。后半段渐渐好了起来，大概是她在工作中找到了自己或是遇到了新的可靠的恋人，渐渐脸上有了舒展的笑容，尽管也有岁月的皱纹。但是自始自终她说话怎么都这么温柔呢？除了那个小姑娘复吸被发现时她发了火生了气但还是很快就以帮助者的角色在保护她。我喜欢通篇的配乐，和作旧的调色，尤其是四个人在客厅吃着焦糖奶油跳着舞响起的音乐真好听。我还喜欢他们的大窗户，喜欢这个母亲与孩子们朋友般的关系。不止一次的向侯麦致敬，导演自己也拍出了有点侯麦感觉的电影。谁是这巴黎的夜旅人呢，大概每个人都是吧。
温柔细腻，摇曳的1980和塞纳河，看完会嘴角一扬也会怅然若失。
但他最终还是选择把手放下，因为他终于明白，有时候揭开真相是残忍而自私的，有时候守护谎言也可以是善意而美好的。
好看，好看，好看。重要的事说三遍也不为过。毫无疑问，这又是电影迷+剧本杀迷的福音。在电影院里看一些电影人拍电影实在是太有意思了，为了钱拍大烂片的导演，为了大卖魔改的投资人制作人，以及后面“故事发生在本土却又跑去国外拍”的梗直接对审查的反讽，影迷看了绝对会心一笑。片中对闪灵的致敬以及各种喜剧加悬疑加惊悚因素的配合实在忒妙了。剧本方面也较为优秀，反转加反转，虽然后半段刚看完可能会有点乱，但细思加回味细节之后形成逻辑闭环的爽感难以言表。毫无疑问，这是继唐探1之后国产最好的悬疑加喜剧，没有之一。我要吹爆它。你可以永远相信韩寒！张本煜的表演太帅了，都给我去看哇！//二刷，电影彩蛋梗，预告片梗，片酬梗，烂片之王梗，挖出来不敢拍，这些电影梗玩的太好。齐乐山用命守护着夜莺呜呜呜。
每一次，我们都只是外来者
陈思成在《唐探》系列一直用力想做到的事，刘循子墨第一部电影就做到了。
当然影片的一些角色逻辑动机可以再推敲斟酌下，部分密室揭秘过程可以再利索些，不过导演从一开始就牢牢抓住桌底下希区柯克式的定时炸弹，一直带着观众冲刺到最后完成度很高，2个小时观影很快过去。
什么烂七八糟的悬疑，国产制片人导演编剧是不是对悬疑有什么误解啊。
很舒服的片，现实生活再怎样也要有所享受，音乐，电影，诗，爱。
要求不高，如果中国每个月能上映这样一部类型片，知足了。
因为行业现状如此之差，此电影竟然有了救市之作的意味。
“像被留在房间的旧镜子里，那些脆弱的阴影。”
台词：请问您对电影票房有什么期待？一切靠口碑，要循序渐进
导演用一个电影真的说明白了拍电影确实不容易
我觉可！娱乐和解谜兼备，有三谷幸喜神韵的元电影（&强烈舞台剧感）：喜剧、密室、群戏的模式，一组失意“无能者”聚集起来向某目标发起挑战并以此洗刷心志，莎婆味儿追寻真相抚慰人情的软推理斗智，还有戏里戏外知其不可而为之的勇气……全程铺桥段释放信息的节奏很稳，电影梗有会心一笑：影视媒体黑话啦、正片里看预告片啦、闪灵梗啦、老上海想象啦、默片段子啦等等，影迷会看得蛮乐呵吧；内核有一丢丢想到《白夜行》（白化版），种种伏笔到后期都扣上了，节节反转（到结尾都没停）做得蛮精心的。用这种形式影射404型社会现实，也算是机智的曲线救国，值得鼓励。
Et si tu n’existais pas, dis-moi pourquoi j’existerais? Et si tu n’existais pas, dis-moi pour qui j’existerais?
观众到底需要娱乐还是真相？讽刺性极强的片，能公映就很强了，关键还有点搞笑。电影人看了落泪，影迷看了高潮。用旧上海背景讲一个现代故事，电影这个行业算是给你们玩明白了，牛！

可能还没到五星那么好，可是抵不住我喜欢。各种隐喻挠得恰到好处，看得开开心心，却又有那么一点点惊心动魄的悬疑。我，可能是陈明昊在这个世界上唯一的颜粉……
不寻常且脆弱，法国人真的好会拍这种片子，感觉认识了这个民族的另一部分灵魂，音乐也好赞～
