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.
你能保证你永远都会是被重点救助的那个对象吗？
女主对镜的呐喊和凝视让人不寒而栗不敢直视屏幕…
差不多三星半的样子，结尾有点迷。没有淹没在宏大叙事下而是体现个体悲剧才是电影的魅力所在。
不要去歌功颂德或者粉饰太平，这个世界上所有人的生活都改变了而且再也回不去了
对于新冠很真实的写照，讲一个故事，记录一段事件，拍的真好。长镜头+虚焦把焦虑和无助完全表现，朱迪演技真棒！今年已经好几部大片了，大火！
在现实抗疫上 中国确实做的比西方国家好太多太多了 但是在电影上 中国被甩的太远了 我们的同类型电影简直就是屎
#9 分三次看完（抠鼻）…本来抱着观察体会看护者和被看护者之间权力不对等的预设来看的，看完觉得思考又困在了生命政治语境里的经典电车问题…想想🇩🇪政府换届之际飙升离谱的感染人数，“根本性解决老龄化问题”想想可能也不是讽刺的黑色幽默了
女主勇敢、无助时的几段表演很不错。
累，脏，乱，手足无措，无人援助，崩溃了之后还是要戴上口罩继续往前冲，在一个小小的养老院是如此，更何况是在抗疫前线的医护人员。
五星是因为对比太明显。
#豆瓣电影
我的小杀手请多拍点这种类型的片子。（话说真是我今年看的第一步和疫情有关剧情片呢
前半小时跟拍女主进入疗养院，结识47岁便患有阿尔兹海默症的男主。
听小变态说英式英语真的变扭啊，有点用力过猛。
近景的压迫感和不断令人窒息的室内戏 其困境就如同病毒般无声无息 电影的片名不该叫援助 应该是声嘶力竭到无处安放的病人求救
但是好美，好喜欢她侧对着他不敢放声哭的那一段
我们总要记录一些真实，而非一味地歌功颂德。
一家养老院在暴发新冠疫情时发生的事，拷问英国的公共卫生健康体系。利物浦口音的英语几乎听不出来是英语。电影分享会推荐，刚上映10天就能看上了，真不错！
什么烂片？BBC拍的吧？戴着阴间滤镜污蔑我大英日不落帝国的伟大抗疫功劳。
Jodie太有魅力了，在近几年冒头的新生代里属于绝对的实力派。对比之下，SOHO区惊魂夜里我同样喜欢的两位女演员在演技上就还有很大的进步空间（当然年龄也更小，还有时间）
