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.
好片，这才是我想看到的六十年代，三个极左群体都特别鲜明，唯一可惜的是黑豹党戏份偏少了（虽然那句can you breathe一定是在指代BLM了）。少搞点Joker这样的假大空吧，历史里的真刀真枪还还嫌少吗？
挺喜欢的题材，可惜可能受制于历史的事实，最后还是草草结尾（其实这剧本密度我完全不介意它被拍到3小时及以上）。希望奥斯卡大满贯吧，别再fuck audience with love and peace了。
割席的、伪善的、精致利己的假温和派 好好看看激进派们在做些什么！
人家的主旋律电影……结尾交待，霍夫曼法官在年度评级中，被78%的芝加哥庭审律师评为“不合格”！
在911事件20周年之际，让我在喜欢音乐剧后有幸遇见这样一部优秀的作品。根据真实故事改编，几个人不同的变换身份，演绎了这样一群“来自远方的特殊客人”。如果你的生命中突然遭遇这样大的变故，你的生活又会发生怎样的改变呢。温暖，救赎。喜欢女机长的励志故事。百老汇，纽芬兰，奇妙的缘分
“实际上，今天的世界是由死去的人和活着的人共同构成的，而不是单由活着的人构成，这是一个简单的概念吧，但总是被忽略，没有注意。”这段话出自娄烨，搬出它，是因为我觉得艾伦·索金就是带着这样的态度拍出这部电影的。
簡單來說就是 911大背景下的微觀群像，除了歌頌團結之類的普遍道德之外也不吝著墨於racist gender之類的沖突，其實是挺典的美式主旋律不過真誠得足夠打動人心😭好想去甘德看看
众星云集的网剧，真实事件改编，不负期待，应该是近期看过的网飞电影里最好看的一部~剧本工整张弛有度，虽然大部分是法庭辩论的文戏，但因为恰到好处的闪回和凌厉的剪辑又显得很带感，喜欢片尾的结束方式，感觉是全片的点睛之笔~
I've never been on trial for my thought before
好电影是不会让我惧怕政治片的。1968真的是一个伟大的年代，革命的年代。简短的发言是4000多因为不正义战争丧命的people，我爱革命的血性，似乎现在没有真正为自由平等的革命，只有挑拨和污蔑的政治行动，愿自由平等终将到来，属于每一个人，也属于过去或现在每一个被污名化的英雄。
灯塔国的法律系统，大家懂得。找10名完全不懂法律的陪审员来审判，这里头学问可多了，可以用来逃脱法律，也可以用来操纵法律。
说实话，初看这部电影，并没有太多共鸣，因为不了解那段历史背景。对于真实历史事件改编的电影，最大的收获是其介绍了一段不为大多数人所熟知的历史，它会促使我们去探索历史的真相。在查阅了维基百科之后，了解到这个事件和1968年相当广泛的一系列民主活动有深刻的联系。
向所有有良知的电影人致敬。
全世界都在看，嗯，迈克尔基顿出场时间不长但特别飒。
“Do you have contempt for your government? (你是否蔑视你的政府)” - "It's nothing compared to the contempt my government has for me.(与我的政府对我的蔑视相比, 我的蔑视不值一提)”
但愿吧。
“你所说的和平推到政府指的是什么？”
艾伦·索金果然很擅长利用台词，外加凌厉的剪辑，把电影变得张力十足，就情感共鸣而言，即便不是太了解它的历史背景，它的煽动力还是很强的，最后念名字的桥段，把我看的热泪盈眶的。再有便是群戏强大，每个人都发挥了自己最好的水平。
艺术来源于生活，真实的生活真实的故事最为动人。
the whole world is watching Shanghai
