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.
概念电影。影评人电影。返祖的人类，从头至尾没有讲话，靠嚎叫沟通。睡着了。想去意大利乡村住一段。
BIFF2021 全片最戏剧性的时刻是 影片结束后 字幕处出现了“因影相聚 祝大家中秋快乐” 刚落下的掌声又响起 观众随着掌声、洞里溶岩的水滴声 一步一步 安静地走出影院…
题材本身还是挺值得鼓励。片子做得过于用力了，音乐和节奏都是。没错这样的片子是有被打动的预期的，但是一直催着说你要感动你要感动就会有点奇怪和pushy。打算把12秒58拿出来也看看
没有人会怪儿子残疾 只会怪妈妈为什么生出这样的儿子
我还以为那个山洞跟老人的某种器官是相通的😂实景拍摄也是很厉害啊
好看，但是集齐了好睡的所有元素！睁眼的时候我以为我在大草原上，我个人不适合这种没台词的哈
一部杜比全景声在杜比全景声影院🎥，画面和音效简直太棒了。影片非常喜欢，看完后每个人都能有自己解读，开放性很大～
香港电影有大陆找不到的细腻，电影非常平，但就是不知不觉某一刻打动你。
期待许久并会引发思考但真的没法全神贯注仔细看的电影。这部依旧充满着对自然发展的原始思考：高耸的大楼、年迈的老者与“洞”的深度形成两个个层次的对比，自然高低的延申与时间长短的延续，赋予这部原本属于科教的电影某种哲思。乡间的摄影依旧优秀，但这部缺少了前几部有意突出的自然意象，而拍得更加直接，直接去注视、去见证和去探索。#中途的困意在结尾的绘图水笔对这687米洞穴的勾勒中渐渐消退了。
伟仔从阿妈背后为她戴上🏅那一幕真的好感动。演员很出色，伟仔直到真人出来我都在想演员是不是真的就是残障人士来演的，而且怎么能三个年龄段都找到这么相似的演员，太厉害了！吴君如演的我一直想到岁月神偷，然后脑里就一直在“一步难一步佳”，这部片我也是因为吴君如才去看的。四星里最少两星半要给演员。
回归电影的爱之本源。契科夫之足球也是有趣的点缀。
#BJIFF No.7#本届北影节最后一部，非常奇妙的观影体验，只可意会难以言传，也就睡了两觉吧，无对白+环境音实在太像助眠的白噪音了。
6.0 后半段节奏问题，体育类都有这类张力
演员表演出色；很生活化的体育类传记片，没有什么正能量颂歌，很难得，也没有过分煽情；生活远远难于跑道
意式乡村风光大赏 aka睡眠挑战 我的北影节终于开始了...
煽情 尴尬 剧作和拍摄都让人感觉很痛苦 浪费原型了
Cinema ZED, Leuven. 2022年7月19 日
赢再多奖牌也没能改变生活落寞的局面，努再多的力也无人知晓。
28'用力哭不如用力跑🇨🇴
#2021北影节 3.5 光影和声音细部冲击，向上建筑高楼，向下求索探洞，一样都是人类的挑战。绘制洞下最后落笔，云雾倾泻满了整屏，是美的体验。（但我和杨老师预设的都是1960年的洞，讲越狱的，还期待着到了洞下能汇合什么的，这个心路历程太好笑了）
