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.
老亨利就是比利小子？就是邦尼？
起始于动人心魄的背景，终止于高开低走的故事。宏观层面的少数族群问题，微观方向的悬疑推案剧情，都算浮泛之谈。虽基于一段政治氛围冷冽且严酷的历史，但影片的视角还是有些狭隘了，批判精神可见一二，奈何这次电影人声讨极端主义的檄文落笔却不够有力。
但我还是抱有一丝期望
这个国家一半的人都有秘密，在铁幕背后凝望铁幕
因为是gay所以有罪。强权一直都需要彰显他的威严，只不过对方的身份让暴力来得更有理由罢了。
就……很一般，主题和内容南辕北辙，最后ppt文字强行点题，本来不是想表述风信子行动对同性恋者的迫害吗？？怎么变成警局高层腐败悬疑探案了？？最重要的是这悬疑都能无聊到这种程度，磨磨唧唧无聊透顶，东一句西一句的，人物角色和演员表演都是很一般，船戏也是干的要死，尺度都这样了还不懂怎么拍船戏吗？？浪费尺度简直，还有就同性题材的影视作品真就不考虑一下演员的适配度吗？？这攻就不能换个人吗？？这形象我的天，两个人的感情戏毫无美感……
只有身处这个群体中才能感受到影片中的压抑。
节奏非常快，感觉像看了一部Neo-noir风格的罪案惊悚片。网飞选在这个时候发布，说没有政治考量我是不信的。眼看着波兰右翼越来越疯魔，80年代迫害性少数的风信子行动也改头换面卷土重来，用仇恨围剿LGBT。最近的宪法官司让我分外好奇欧盟接下来会不会开除大波波...
③真实事件的“风信子”，到现在为止，依然留存着档案。“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其不能害怕自由。”
“我欺骗了所有人”“至少你没有欺骗自己”。
人不能恐惧一切，尤其是为了自由。骗了所有人，但是至少没有欺骗自己。
昨天在抖音看的介绍，今天看完了。男一男二的床戏看的我热舞沸腾，果然和自己爱的人做，感觉是完全不一样的。还行。
这叙事节奏和演员演技，要了老命了（回味半小时后四星改五星）
如果你是不喜歡黑暗抑鬱題材的人，這部電影可能就不適合你看了，因為影片的氛圍和劇情讓人看完內心衝擊會有點深，感覺心情都變得低沉了。
清纯男大学生我好喜欢，不过eric在别墅卖感觉是个败笔，不在别墅也不影响前面他们相爱，就像是为了戏剧冲突而强行如此，也没有反转，反而与Eric人设冲突。就算eric是个局外人他们也可以有阻碍不是吗，毕竟当时的大环境就是最大的阻碍。最喜欢男主给妈妈道歉说欺骗了大家，男主妈妈说至少你没欺骗自己那里。
拍的很真實了，幾位演員都很好，故事淺了一點點
刺破黑幕，后面是幽深的渊薮。贯穿两个板块很勉强，可惜。
还是第三世界的片子更能感同身受。男主总让我想到春风沉醉的夜晚里的秦昊。算是我最近两年看过的不错的同志片了。
两位男主挺养眼，故事一开始看起来有点迷，不过后面线索慢慢清晰，两人以警察和嫌疑人的身份审讯的那段特别棒，艾瑞克努力忍着泪看着对面的警察"男友"拼命忍住感情，也不说出最近的"性伴侣"名字，那几幕，挺棒。
只是单纯地讲好了一个故事
