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.
安雅泰勒乔伊绝美～
电影倒还可以，但是完全看不出来是埃德加赖特的作品啊？
虽然是灵异惊悚片，但视觉听觉都很美，安雅简直像个精灵，谁能不喜欢她呢～以及热评好搞笑，这就“恐男厌男”了好玻璃心哟
开头很美好，过程很香艳，中途很悬疑，结尾很泄气。
我觉得蛮好，我看你们这些打两星的人就是希区柯克看多了！
一星。令人生气得难看。最讨厌自我沉醉自以为是的片子。女主的选角色是灾难性的。今后不会再去看有她的片子。
表达的形式挺有趣的，可是要表达的内容还欠一点考虑。
后期惊悚氛围不错，悬疑感不是很好，服化道感觉还挺好看的
色彩、画面感挺好，没想到后半部分会彻底变成怨灵复仇恐怖片，Edgar Wright真的很用心想要吓观众😅 在看过的他的电影里排最后
这口阴郁的味道还真像老派伦敦祖传的阴魂不散。
披着恐怖惊悚外衣的厌男片。两种不同风格的美，McKenzie清秀可人，Taylor-Joy的大眼依然很是瘆人
[CGV대학로] 从家到宿舍那段的flow （结尾走秀的衣服是不是没钱了）
表达的形式挺有趣的，可是要表达的内容还欠一点考虑。
哇哦，原谅我不想剧透……
前面有点吓人，揭露真相之后越看越搞笑，房东变来变去变得太快，妈妈和老警察的存在意义不大，政治正确得很刻意，总体挺爽的。
-0.5 这收尾也太扯了 但音乐品味很棒 埃德加赖特选曲没得说
原声必收，60年代英伦复古大串联。另外，镜像的点子实现的不错。
【YVR-5th】两位女主不可限量！很适合万圣节这个时间点
電影本身實在是中規中矩的一般，再扣一星給這個自以為是的反轉結局吧，就是說明明過去的事看到了那麼多，怎麼偏偏最重要的事情完全看反了呢？除了導演唬我故意想反轉外，我實在找不到合理的解釋。然後這部片的視角也實在無法讓人輕易代入，不是一個能夠得到大多數人共鳴的片子。而且稍微有一點小題大做，這種60年代的悲劇應該上演了無數次，怎麼女主看到被嚇成那種鬼樣子，真的是有些沒有見過世面的既視感，反應很過激，而且最後所有男人在那求救也很好笑，就有什麼好求救的呢，真的是令人莫名其妙。對了，最後結尾那三件新設計的衣服還不如原來那三件，更別說原來那三件也挺普通，有時候看還以為女主是大肚子，腹部鼓起的很厲害
丢掉最为代表性的极速变焦蒙太奇的埃德加·赖特依旧鲜明无比，之前被遮盖的匹配剪接成为这部电影的最大技术瞩目点，在加上本身擅长的转场设计，两个年代的转换自然成了炫目十足的观看着眼点。前半段重返黄金年代好似对《午夜巴黎》的另类挪用，但后半段却成了对伍迪·艾伦的反写，那个由文艺作品与过往情调搭建起来的沙上之塔，最终在遭遇现实的海水冲击之时，暴露了隐藏下的泥泞，皮条客与恋人的身份转换，揭开了那个年代的女性境地，最终光影浮华变了鬼魅浮生，之前怀旧视角下的泛黄暖意色调也自然变为了铅黄清冷寒意。但结尾的悬念回转在制作惊奇感的同时，又一定程度消减了之前的女性受害情况的描写力度，在魔女化的同时甚至有合理化的嫌疑，人设也从追梦单纯女变为了复仇女杀手，后者自然爽感无比，但与前面铺垫的写法相比，令人怀疑导演的本意。
