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.
司法独立，警政腐败，选举政治和种姓制度，将这么多敏感话题融合在一部电影里，又能详略得当的都照顾到，印度电影水平真令人佩服。
3.5，印度总能拍出这样的电影，真实改编也更具有说服力，想起了我们过往中的一些冤案，不知道能不能拍出来。不过我现在不太吃印度这种类型片的风格~
法院作出的不仅是判决，还是希望。看的版本翻译太差，整体节奏稍慢。
极其纯粹的感动。种姓制度，想改变了这么多年，尚未成功。未来更遥遥无期。但是这不代表是泯灭人心的借口。每个为他人的人，都值得被尊重。我们人的基因里刻着“利他”。希望时刻提醒自己，保持善良保持谦卑。爱人悯物。
有些电影的社会意义早已大于了影片本身。
大概 是因为自己没有 所以 特别羡慕那些 有的人吧
为了正义，为了真相。很难想象要是没后台在印度这么伸张正义有多难。
虽然男主走路带风，但却没有被黑警暗杀。虽然印度贫富悬殊，却可以做到司法独立。
好片，不得不说印度还是敢拍的，种姓制度拖累了他们。
2021.12.30 终于看完了 在豆瓣热门好几天了 之前一直没来看 首先他们的印地语就决定了他们国家注定是一个很土的国家 印度版的《辩护人》实在太长了 印度片居然都能拍164分钟就离谱了啊 其实很多剧情是可以稍微优化下删减点时间的 差不多又是一部记录式的电影 介绍了钱德鲁这个为了人权不收钱的好律师 还改变了种姓隔离制度的大圣人了 94年的印度人还在光脚走路也太离谱了吧 他们这监狱就这么小防守这么薄弱不随便越狱吗(当然他们没越狱)前1/3段索然无味 后面开始渐入佳境 但是这个配乐是真的不行太土了！那个警察“我不知道 我不记得了”一起回答也太搞笑了 虽然知道印度人因为光照的缘故肤色较深 但有些人也太黑了吧 纯黑人了都 印度的傻逼警察也没救了又打人又贿赂“一句谎言需要十句谎言来弥补”太对了
当你觉得这个世界有大量的不正义，你也要记得它有一个对立的概念叫“正义”。如果世界上没有正义，那你说的不正义就毫无意义，而正是我们相信这个世界上有正义，所以才会不断地去追寻正义。（by 罗翔）
片子是好片子，但拍的确实太累赘了，昏昏欲睡
好片，不得不说印度还是敢拍的，种姓制度拖累了他们。
套路工整，配乐出色，刚开始是爽片拍法，律师自带慢镜走路像赌神，后半渐入佳境。另外，配乐歌词感觉质量相当高，就算是谷歌翻译而来仍富含诗意，例如结尾那句“有没有追求的生命吗”，像是对人类为何要制造种姓划分阶层的诘问。
但权势者需要之时还要讨价还价地拿走它。
少数族群底层人民的苦，官僚群体相互串通的恶，正义人士无偿助力的善，让一个你看着毫无希望的印度有了某种星星之火可以燎原的可能。就电影本身技术角度而言并不算优秀但这个题材和胆量是我们不会有的。天下乌鸦一般黑，只是有的叫了，有的沉默了，有的是哑巴。
能拍、敢拍这样的题材值得表扬，但是从艺术的角度看，拍的太过脸谱化，以至于不吸引人。
故事剧本、音乐甚至于镜头都是印度电影标准啊。
拉贾坎努被殴如此都不承认自己偷了东西，
有被印度的近代史震撼到，人权是一条漫长的道路。
