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.
原来这是电影啊...音乐剧百老汇版的官摄，看着很欢乐，也没有刻意渲染悲情，有些感动
疫情前看的最後一部音樂劇，緊湊又聰明的結構。最愛On the Bus。
3.0。看眼海報就能想出劇情的大致落點，全然屬於乘著女性主義浪潮的陳舊雞湯，並且沒有看出非要拿這個劇本拍電影而不是做成舞台劇的必要性。
▫️影片后半段两人的冲突，乍看觉得莫名其妙接受不了，细想其实也再自然不过，无法把情欲和亲密感情剥离，是女主循规蹈矩人生的一部分，对于这次“一生中唯一的冒险”也自然而然的想在这条轨道上运行。而“相互救赎”非要让男主也来个转变就实属鸡汤了。
Tonight we honor what was lost.
世界上的鸭要都这么可爱又会聊，谁还要谈恋爱呀！
1，女性真的是……买春的时候都不忘做别人的救赎者；2，放下意识的束缚身体才能跟上啊~3，哪里有里奥，我也想要！
在世界边缘的孤岛奏响人性力量的赞歌，人类应当对灾难保有一份共情，对善与爱怀揣一丝希望。Honor what was lost. Commemorate what was found.
最后两个人的癫狂源于放下一切，坦诚相对让彼此心灵靠近，真心蛮感人的。为女主的勇敢鼓掌，人就应该去做自己喜欢的事，哪怕事关禁忌，以不伤害他们为前提即可，何必在乎别人的看法
灾难片里主角以外的人都是炮灰，跑着跑着就被砸死在半路上。除此之外也有这样的故事在讲述每个平凡人在未知遭遇里的平凡细节。好好啊！gayest town in newfoundland！
看的第一部官摄音乐剧 911事件后来自各地的旅客迫降甘德小镇的故事 故事很暖心 歌也很好听 虽然没在现场但被表演和舞台设置深深震撼到了 希望有机会能现场看表演（看完更希望本哥重回音乐剧舞台了
Goodbye and good luck to you~~
四星给美丽童话，多一星是给共情。看到女主仿佛看到亲密关系中的自己：十分爱judge别人，一紧张反而变得更加硬邦邦，话痨又很强装理性……理性害我！这个角色还必须爱玛来演，她那种聪明劲儿加重了这种对于自己性魅力的自卑，缺一不可。最后一脱真的震撼，面对不再美丽的肉体而不judge自己，真的需要莫大勇气
节奏非常明快，对众生相的描写非常细腻，也对美国人后911的心态有比较真挚的刻画。确实是一曲人性的颂歌。17年底去纽约的时候就看到了这剧的大幅广告牌，也被当地导游推荐了这个剧，但当时去看了更有名的《西贡小姐》就没去看它。。。其实还是比较明智的选择吧，因为现场第一次看的话，肯定听不懂。。。感谢字幕帮我看了一出好戏！
北美人民真的好富裕好乐观。动人的旋律始终是百老汇成功的前提条件啊，滚去循环ost。
所以只有下载的音乐文件
看了女机长原型的采访，更感动了，她说她把这个看了101遍，每一遍都能从中获得感动和力量，导演没有长时间让观众沉浸在悲伤里，用inspiring的手法让人们记住了发生在纽芬兰岛Gander小镇的故事。
20年后的今日，当别有用心之人还在将彼时的悲剧用作思想灌输的素材和立场观点的划分时，Broadway的一场演出将"We're all islanders"歌颂。
倒数第二场戏之前两星，问题不在于舞台设计有多么简陋，而是每个主要演员都拥有两个及以上的核心角色，导致本就停留太短的情绪根本没有渲染的空间，故事的阴暗面也被简单略过，直到最后才能感受到那种被历史车轮碾过的无力感，也与当下产生了共振。
这大概就是美国主旋律题材了，但是很优秀。请假紧凑连贯，音乐动听。演员业务能力真的很强，每一个都很能打，从头到尾都是这些人不停地变装切换人物，他们应该都是热爱舞台的人吧，看到这样的表演也是一种幸运。每次看舞台剧谢幕时演员的敬礼和观众的掌声都让我热泪盈眶，充满热情。
