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.
室内置景不错，有年代感。
理想主义打败不了现实主义。为了目的不择手段，还是为了坚持的信念宁愿失败？毫无疑问我一定是目标导向
金大中与影子军师的故事挺好看的，当然恶俗一下朴瑾惠也是很有意思的一件事情，太可爱了。再看卞导的上一部作品，咦《不汗党》也是我蛮喜欢的，传承了相应的风格。可以的可以。
军师，不亏是智慧担当，那一房间的书，那种东西
相当可以，镜头语言也特别高明！这个世界自有他自己运行的规律，人为只能任其左右一段时间但不是永久的
我想说其实真是不错的电影，竞选的题材拍摄的没那么枯燥
当宣布连任年限后，紧接着播放了焦灼的足球比赛，群起愤恨的人们一下子坐下来立刻投入到了比赛上，仿佛刚刚的愤怒消失了。这一切都太熟悉了…
一部描写选举竞选、政治斗争的电影。里面有句台词非常贴切：这样的选举制造出不知道什么时候才能愈合的社会裂痕。
这部把金大钟塑造成了一个理想主义者，但是“造王者”这种影子的存在又暗喻了不管什么主义从了政就都是野心家。现史里，这位金大中总统的一生简直就是玄幻剧啊。
看的不仔细，以为男主是李善均，但最后赞颂的是薛景求。大概就是在争论目的和手段哪个重要吧
一个没有完整主权的国家，还搞什么过家家的选举？
终于找到精校字幕马上开看，薛都拿影帝了我才补完。
前半还是很好看的，拍摄和剪辑都很有意思。但是前后多少有些矛盾，前面主角们信誓旦旦地说为了正义可以不择手段，后面又开始可怜巴巴地为了良心不能这么做。对于南山部长和纸牌屋爱好者来说，这部主角们的善和恶都不够彻底，所以最后输掉竞选完全在意料之内。
还是不错的，活在王者影子里的人，了不起，也十分伤感，其实完全可以抛开片中政治元素当作架空来看。成功者的背后势必有个背后支持的人，但是最后还是不可避免地分道扬镳，这里的安排反倒有些俗套了
柏拉图是亚里士多德的老师。
不知道真实的事情里肖这个人物的存在和作用，但是全片感觉放大了，民主的获取不是仅仅靠一些手段。
对政治不感冒。
总体感觉上还是不及《南山的部长们》《铁雨》《特工》。
看完了特意查了查金大中的生平，入狱软禁流亡，被绑架差点被扔去喂鱼，被对手制造车祸成了瘸子，第四次竞选成功，韩国历史上第一次在野党获胜，还挺坎坷。
政治是男人之间的爱情！影片拍出了尔虞我诈的可笑丑陋。男人之间的爱情就是这么倒胃口
