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.
蛮累的，主角一开始接受合约也不知道是不是只是一时兴起......蒙眼奶奶说的：“你不是真的骑士。”他就立马逃跑。废柴经历了那么多，看到后半生如此还不如早点死去也不愿意多思考要怎么活自己的人生（他觉得他这样才叫勇敢，因为他终于可以勇敢的面对死亡了）。最后皇冠还是给小女孩戴起来了，整篇都特别讽刺，这大概就是我的理解。当然要夸一夸摄影和美术以及各种荒诞的隐喻，真棒~
主角是他们 人类确实有点多余 可没有人故事就不晓得怎么展开了…… 这头狼和狮子是怎么拍的 真不容易的 …… 好看 但故事太弱
3.5 四分给这是自从covid以后来影院看的第一部片子.... 大晚上夜场看的，节奏也确实慢着实有点烧脑 so beautiful but so wired not sure if it’s worth it
看了影评知道了原故事，才能把影片里各种奇怪的元素对上号，很明显导演逞能改故事但改的无法自圆其说
太晦涩，十字军又是我因为不喜欢而造成的知识盲区，所以看不懂，欣赏不了
尸骨旋转镜头—大卫洛维标签 这次我更喜欢母体巨人
一个插曲
故事没什么新意，讲述一个成长的故事，掺杂着巫术内容，哪怕主角是一个骑士并且了解了骑士精神与影片段落的对照，整部作品仍旧是一个视觉表现力很强的童话故事罢了
画面音乐很棒 叙事绝对意义上的不知所云 神秘主义气质不是模糊叙事来的
完全看不懂 盎格鲁撒克逊文化下的奇幻故事完全没接触过
6分。故事真的拍的太普通了，所有剧情全部都在我的预料中按部就班的走完了😂以至于我更愿意把它看作一部纪录片。风景是真的很美很美，小狼和小狮子是真的很萌很萌。
布景和打光挺有意思，有那种古老传说的感觉，三星。
用美丽的电影语言告诉我们一个向死而生的童话故事。
【7】130分钟和三小时一样漫长，质感爆棚，神秘诡谲（BDO爱好者狂喜！），充满诗意，美到极致，可惜徒有其表，故事老套，像具精致的空壳。（记得最开始的分类还是恐怖呢，实际上感觉连惊悚都差点，真的是纯正的奇幻冒险片...）
还是理想化了 现实毕竟太骨感 半个分神 天地就变了 往后余生 还是天各一方的好
7/10。一开始还不太能理解——古装片能拍成这样吗？结果越看越能看进去，还觉得挺diao——传说不就得这么拍吗？！
勇气可嘉 但布立吞人写哥特体是不是有点太扯了
了解象征骑士精神的五项品质（Five virtues of a knight）：虔诚（Piety），慷慨（Generosity），善行（Courtesy），贞洁（Chastity），友谊（Friendship），这部电影就没那么难懂了，还是挺有趣的一部电影的，音乐画面都很宗教史诗的感觉，氛围渲染相当不错，很有意思
骑士的赴约之行也是自身的朝圣之行，更是寻找勇气成为真正骑士的考验。神性和宗教性的陌生设置了高门槛，故事单薄与玄虚的叙述方式也让人无聊。不过画面和氛围还是很好看，拥有绵绵无尽的森林和绿色。
仁者见仁，智者见智。高文最后是在得知“未来的情况下”看到了:逃避回去后的最后结局是凄惨而懦弱的死去，才选择的赴死，总之“你不是一个骑士”，虽然“这是一场游戏”。但镜头的质感和色彩的运用都超级喜欢。
