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.
讽刺到位，美国体制的失败。媒体，科学家，民众，都被政客，商人玩坏了。
气候问题的焦虑；结尾的第七封印式的等待；数不过来影帝影后的卡司；看似讽刺了许多实际流于表面的无力；网飞的电视剧味道总是挥之不去。
平安夜看这个电影有点像在西方除夕晚上看了一场美国春晚小品，其中还有a妹倾情献唱。故事是挺讽刺的，人类愚蠢、自大到这个地步倒不如毁灭算了，而我们作为大多数甚至没有决定权和知情权，pathetic
剧情有点虎头蛇尾了。美国人不要抬头，千万不要，皇冠会掉。
三星半。看似荒谬至极，其实有深度。要看到字幕完全走完哦，还有彩蛋！
看了三分钟就猜出是《大空头》导演的作品，剧本依旧犀利，充满趣味性，且争分夺秒地炫技。开篇至主角们上电视之前若能少玩点花活就好了，比如在镜头快切及定格的使用上保以克制，这样反而能更加清晰地营造出人物及环境逐渐失控到毁灭的过程。不过结尾十分钟还是有深深触动到我，带有一定纪实感，让我更加确信人类真的可恶又可悲。
越看越觉得有点儿腩肪公园的味道。荒唐但又很真实，讽刺与搞笑都挺直接，不过也难说新意或深刻，对普通羣眾讽刺不够，给鯮窖留面子，但毕竟类型风格也不是正剧或暗黑朋克，想多讨好些也无可厚非吧。不打分了，推荐看看。（结尾逗，演职员表升完还有个彩蛋，别漏了）
时代众生相：太多的人不得要领，又言之凿凿。
主讲新冠肆虐大美利坚这茬子事，苹果华为之争、霉霉恋情绯闻、弗洛伊德事件等也面面俱到影射。好莱坞啊，全美最大民主党左派大本营，众星接下此片应该也是闻出了剧本的现实讽刺意义，梅姨亲自演特朗普挖苦；大表姐也真会挑剧本，《母亲！》直指默克尔难民政策，这部则辛辣开刷当今整个病态美国。
意淫大于讽刺的政治喜剧，这个结局还蛮放飞的有点喜欢，不过怎么感觉最近看的欧美电影每一部都有甜茶，是要开创甜茶盛世了吗
用大白话来讽刺也是相当的过瘾，为了黑而黑的笑点更符合网络快消时代的气质。面对危机下所有人的应对状态，不正像现在正在经历疫情的我们一样吗？
对时政的嘲讽度拉满！很多以前觉得纯夸张的情节在后疫情时代都变成了现实批判，这个观感本身就很讽刺了🙂
有意思，撞击危机演变成政治和资本联合的闹剧。发现彗星，减肥开始，减肥结束，地球毁灭。演员阵容太强大了。
满屏就俩字，虚伪。左棍都是污染大户，就知道慷他人之慨。
平安夜在家看人类如何玩死自己，正如这几年一直在现实里看到的那样。
好低级好难看球球Adam McKay搞你肥皂节目去别来祸害电影
中期选举大过天
表演都很扎实，故事荒唐可笑但又无奈可悲，政治生命皆是生意。普通人为有钱人卖命还被吸血，浩劫面前只能卑微的死去，甚至都不知道还有“方舟”的存在，最后活下来的却是有钱有权的人，托着一身赘肉和肮脏的思想来到新的星球传承人类的基因……
无语又无聊，没觉得有什么批判力，错误的参照系和幻觉预设，一个字“滚”😡
牛逼，真會寫，好萊塢明星的胸針那裡我笑出了豬叫
