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.
此外AMAZON的官方中字简直离谱
索金试了几次电影，到目前为止都只说明了他不适合当导演。
Kidman的长相让我分不清时间线
索德伯格再次证明90分钟足够。少说废话多闭嘴，这是最值得当下好莱坞学习的部分。
至少比同题材的《窗里的女人》好。结合当下疫情和人工智能写出了一部短小精悍，情节跌宕的作品。7.5分
艾伦索金再次复刻自己鸡肋的导演功底，狂轰滥炸充满节奏的台词与索然无味的镜头语言格格不入，以及妮可基德曼虽走心却僵硬的容颜也是一大出戏点。
home和house的区别从第一面贯穿到最后一幕
所有符合当下时代特色的元素被融合在非常精巧的九十分钟里面，冰冷的泛科技感的画面配上疏离的声效，疫情时代科技加速入侵生活，家庭变成了捆绑的束缚和需要闪转腾挪的空间，从一个个刁钻的角度映照空间从而映射人物关系，室外则全副武装寸步难行。电子产品所带来的便捷与恐怖危害、密闭空间中女性所面临的危险等当下热门问题通过导演的计算被一个个拼贴进去，虽然有诸多瑕疵，比如女主健气自信得完全不像有任何心理疾病，比如最后反派就看着她操控不做反应等，有太多导演的“要求”而非发展，但这仍然是目前时代性做得最好的一部，它关于突围与推翻，关于当下的惊悚，索德伯格的一次成功尝试。
靠对话传达的信息点高频输出持续而密集，一开始确实感到有点疲。fight against McCarthyism、对拉丁裔移民和女性的歧视、年龄困境容貌焦虑、婚姻。最后听到戏中丈夫角色扮演者 - 自己鲜少归家的丈夫说出台词“I’m home”，一瞬间的出神让Lucy Ricardo与Lucille Ball融为一体，舞台与现实的隔阂不再。Nicole的表演可圈可点。最喜欢的一个小段落是Lucille指出不要把观众当傻子（害）。
后疫情时代电影，社恐感同身受，但社恐绝对干不掉两个杀手…
耳目无限放大的数位时代后窗+凶线，索德伯格能玩
精彩极了（为什么脑内哈维尔巴登和帕西诺的脸开始逐渐融为一体…
近几年老这么拍传记片 且抓住一个小细节小情绪抠啊抠 再也找不回当年看朗读者和changeling 的感动了 谁来结束这个时代/前半段实在是昏昏欲睡 后半段突然明朗起来 挣扎与桎梏也有了理由 仿佛看见“演员的诞生”里固执的章子怡 又好像看见“浮生路”里几近偏执的肥温 ；中途一度不清楚只因为妆还是打针的原因 妮可的脸僵得不行 去看了原主人公的照片只得噗嗤一笑 豁然开朗 ；成片质量一般 但看完全片一扫疑惑与冗长 是完全值得二封的表演。
每一个桥段都很想说：we see you behind, Aaron Sorkin!
我是片中了才看出那是妮可基德曼，脸实在是……僵得让人尴尬了
觉得索金的剧本还是有点门槛的，这次我被拦门外了。不喜欢。
结尾最后那几分钟，妮可封神，那恍惚的一瞬间有被狠狠击中的感觉，拿下奥斯卡影后吧
虽然妮可基德曼在这部片里脸假的像塑料女模，但演技还是值得肯定的，很喜欢这个故事，尤其是结局，最后一幕算得上是针妮演技的高光时刻，非常喜欢。妮可值得一个奥斯卡提名。
索金正常发挥，不算特别出色。演员都挺好。想讲的东西太多，情景喜剧史，拉丁裔移民，女明星的婚姻，60年代麦卡锡主义，都揉在一块显得太乱了，重点也不突出。
纪录片的方式，追述一段冷战时代广播秀的往事。
