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.
法庭戲太弱了，漏洞也多，應該打電話處理的事非要留下語音信息，一個不誠實證人讓案件早早失去懸念，導致兩位律師立場轉變生硬。
律师良心发现，但是走犯法的路是不是值得推荐，这又是另一个故事。所有的证据都不是百分之一百正确的
剧情薄弱是真的
内里都是烂的，就很没必要升华了。廖叔遗作，pity
2021.10.08 边画画边看完，纪念廖叔
至少找个不是法盲的编剧来写法律戏吧，这庭审基本可以算是看过的法庭戏里面最傻逼的，一板一眼却感觉比白面包青天里的还搞笑
三星半有的，比很多内娱洗钱片，装逼片好太多了！
很不错的片子，这个世界做什么都需要手段。。
好久没看港片了，粤语听着真舒服…但是这剧情对不起这名字，还以为是控方证人类型的
方中信还是很帅阿，冷静又沉着。
我觉得剧情饱满，主题鲜明老戏骨演技爆棚，看的很爽可以了。不过年轻演员确实差一大截。
廖启智和曾江在船上的对手戏好爽！
反转有点突兀，拍摄手法很hktv，剧情设计又有点tvb，结尾强行说教也扣分，但是智叔的演技还是很值得加一星，方中信应该是蹭了当年《律政强人》的光再演大状吧，另外就是案发现场两位年轻演员的演技也真是一言难尽了

不过，比起有权人杀了有钱人，穷人被顶包，最终得平反的戏码，我更想知道穷人要是动了他们任何一方的利益会怎样？
这剧情开头铺得这么满，后面这么简单。。。这也太。。。没劲了吧~！
勉强及格。毕竟有这么一帮好香港演员，毕竟是廖启智的遗作。
加一星给过世的智叔 无论他是不是在今年过世的 我都认为他是这部电影里面表演最有力量最好的
还好吧，律政强人电影版。方中信怎么又年轻啦。曾江更老啦。智叔还是那么好演技。
靠良心实现的正义，和靠暴力实现的正义，本质上没有区别，都是一种赌博行为！
