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.
印度的电影风格自成一派，如果它没有那么多不必要的歌舞，它还是一部非常犀利的片子
故事和反转非常精彩，内容深刻，发人深省，涵盖的主题从女性到媒体到正义到真相，再到制度，涵盖之广，令人嗔目，值得学习。但影片本身质量一言难尽，逻辑上bug到离谱，庭审上俩律师各说各的就离谱，剪辑叙事毫无水平可言，像是一篇全靠配乐烘托的大型PPT。
故事A：一场女性主义应援引发的骚动；
让提出问题的人闭嘴的政治，让指责的人戴上手铐的政治，但无论你如何试图让他们闭嘴，无论你把他们关进哪座监狱，都会有人提出问题，而且必须有人回答
印度文艺工作者的尺度和表达程度我们已经望尘莫及了。但这部电影本身我可真喜欢不起来。
2021有《杰伊·比姆》，2022有《宿敌》。两部针砭时弊的印度电影都极度震撼了我。我曾在其他影评中有这样一种观点，好电影能让人从犯困看到不困，差电影可以让人从不困看到犯困
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。
近期的印度影片都在大力的说种姓问题 这是我很欣赏的 我们知道我们的问题出在哪里 但是我们不会隐藏 也不会打压 我们有让全世界都审视评判的勇气 可能改变不是一朝一夕就可以完成的事情 但是能拍能上这便是态度 总好过一味地宣传本国的优点更令人佩服 因为我一直在说 也许印度她们落后 他们有种种问题 但是他们却同样有着希望 有暗就必有光 这个国家的光也正在冉冉升起 本片延续了印度一贯的方式 个人觉得反转也是可以的 整体节奏虽有些凌乱 但全程也并不无聊 一些语句也是令人感到力量感的 政府以情绪煽动 民众只在乎宣泄的两点立意还蛮好的 还有那句 你做了什么 上帝都会回报给你的点也很妙
能拍敢拍三星起，中间是有点惊喜，但是总之太长了，没必要。
印度正在发生深刻的变化，此片加上上周迎来的第一位底层女总统！
抄台词：“一个国家的尊严就等同于它给女性的尊严。”
剧本层层反转设置的还可以，但是内容塞得太满，这个烂导演完全驾驭不了。没完没了的啰嗦闪回和慢动作镜头，让人莫名烦躁。
7.9分左右。
为了反转而反转，剧情夸张，音乐夸张，但有一些台词写得不错。
所有国家都在与问题的斗争中进步，只有我们在没问题的自嗨中坠落
神级反转，然后从zz，文化，教育多反面嘲讽，虽然最后显得有点多余，但整体无伤大雅。最后真的佩服，印度电影是真敢拍啊
事件不断的反转，从一重社会现象发展到更高一重，一重又一重，抨击着现实。
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！
媒体热炒女教师焚尸案，民众愤怒，
口号谁都能喊，难的是如何做。这种题材电影，那个国家电影工作者都能拍，难的是是否解决了现实问题，而不是一而再再而三的拍。重视对方，才会想尽办法控制审查；当达到了蔑视的程度，谁管你，反正也掀不起大风浪，你想怎么拍就怎么拍。我并不希望以后我们国家这种类型的电影遍布，如果真的到了那个时候，说明真的烂了。任何人都以为自己了解真相，然而你看到的却是别人要你看到的。
