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.
看到有人在认真拍电影，还是感动，不太愿意苛责。
不过保利这里的冷气也太足了，冻死我了，映后的闪光灯也快把我晃死了。
还问了导演个问题
整个故事的架构感觉问题很大。说得好听是学院派但给我的感觉更像是大型的学生作业。在视听的处理和画面风格上有一些创新，但是工业流程很明显不熟练，录音部分让普通观众都能意识到存在问题。幻境与现实的切换在创作团队看来是合理的，但是一旦跳脱出创作的语境就会觉得一时间无法理解。总体来说就是自以为达到艺术成就的自嗨。
人物塑造缺少了点信念感，抓不住观众。国画水墨，塔可夫斯基意境，前段处理极佳，后段略显乏力。满意之作
模糊电影，非同期声电影，反战电影，实验电影。
总体来说形式大于内核。不愧是美院作品，摄影上之压抑与孤寂全通过灰调、枯树、云烟、死水展现出来了，服装妆容也能算合格，倒是把年代和气氛勾画出来了，运镜一搞变焦就感觉很现代，与所谓之东方诗意美学总感觉相悖。故事很简单，想讨论奉献、挣扎与牺牲，但人物没有事件的堆叠就没有情感的积累，共情不足。但好歹是主旋律的小进步吧。
云霄这种真实感可能来自于人物的形象感，在溃败的情况下到底该不该执行军令，有彷徨有挣扎有逃避，知难而不退才是军人的理想，不是传统意义上的主旋律电影，也不是纯黑白，主创团队说，消色处理为了能把人带入进去，像做了一场梦，影片中我最喜欢的细节在树枝上看似毒辣的蛇，最后却被串成了“烤串”，脆弱的受伤的蝴蝶，却用尽全力煽动翅膀，明知是扑火，却不畏惧炙热的飞蛾，跟随云霄之上，做梦一般，感受水、光、影、梦的力量。后续会全国放映，希望大家都能支持这部诗性电影❤️
挺写实的拍法，开头很恐怖，人性表现的不错，很接地气
艺术性很高的主旋律电影……so……艺术性高+主题比较不新颖=迈不过去的双门槛……
这个苏联式诗意战争片的尝试再一次印证了“视觉不是美术”——极精致的摄影和极粗糙的故事、对白、剪辑和调度并存，努力实现的气韵也显得虚无。
能不能拍的和功勋差不多，别低级红高级黑。能不能别打着艺术电影干商业电影的事。
我愿称为一厢情愿的电影，对于形式或者说所谓格调的追求，远远大于电影本身，从全片角色说方言混搭意大利语片尾曲就可直观感受其傲慢。所谓的“中国诗性美学电影”，在我看来也值得一个问号，且不讨论消磨战争残酷性又没有升华的问题，仅画面而言也是割裂的。极度形式化的场面和平庸真实的战斗场面被拼接在一起，反而不伦不类。可能做短片会更好，电影的长度真的让观众疲惫
80/100 淹没在血雨中，等待黎明的到来。美院出品就可以做好预备了，它的重点就是导演摄影和场景设计，熟悉但沉重的题材也让剧本没那么浅薄。很重要的原因就是在一众耀武扬威的主旋律中，它很不一样。
3.5，好的地方是少有的主旋律战争片不硬往民族和国家大义上扯的，甚至于连黑白色调的应用都是恰到好处，与山间的芦苇荡映衬也融洽，形成一种极简质感的视觉美，队长视角的两个意象画面及队员们的反战情绪也着实能看出影片想往军人人性个体化的表达方向上靠拢，这是主旋律中比较有新意的地方，但可惜的是他仅仅只是点到为止，并没有进一步深挖这个立意，结果就是导致看到最后我不仅他们的脸记不住，就连他们其中任意一个人的个性点我都找不到，就只是炸完弹药库，任务完成然后就草草收尾了，再加上中间有些许叙事推进不够连贯的地方，只能说影片的完成度还是有些不尽人意。
（0604来福士主创见面会）前面睡着了，真枪实弹段落才醒过来。我果然不太适合诗性电影，但这种尝试还是值得肯定的。映后分享有几点印象比较深刻，①zf当年想要的原片名是《挺进吧》②导演觉得很多普通观众审美不行需要教育，所以很多好片子票房不好③国美电影教育偏诗性电影风格。
也不是难看…就是画面摄影什么形式上看起来还可以，就是…不好说
没人看排片少是有原因的…真不是什么臭鱼烂虾来拍个片段都能上院线的…黑白片给你拍出来这么慢，几个演员的台词都对不上也太离谱了…

三星半。有几个场面挺美的。但是真的…剧情一般，人物也没立起来。
