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.
有点儿对不住黄政民三个字，原版最出彩的就是绑匪，翻拍的绑匪有些逗比啊。黄政民，你要是被绑架来拍片，你就眨眨眼。
可惜他们应该展开后面的故事也许会好一些，但是没有也许
韩国的翻拍改编的还可以不像国内直接照搬这点不错
毕竟是翻拍，对于国内观众来讲确实无趣又过时，无非是看另一个国民级演员重新演一场大家都知道结局的故事，至于过程又能有多与众不同呢？适合拆成3分钟×30集的网络小短剧。
中规中矩，忠武路工业没能让这个中国剧本焕发新意。
自己演自己依旧很能打，比原版好的一点是加入了好几个女性角色吧。
从科学的角度 所谓类型片即是大众消费心理 由此可见 豆瓣用户留于大众之外 但反观国片 它又留于大众以内 哎 真真是 韩国人干出什么都不意外 中国人干出什么都不意外
就这片这么多打3星的？我觉得因为黄政民可以给1星，不然这个片必须0分，韩国电影万年不变的日常黑警察，呵呵
第3334-不好看。其实原版没好到哪里去。不过吴若甫当年能获救还是很幸运的。
紧张感略有不足，并且也没有太多的对手戏。还是不如华仔版的精彩
中规中矩，还行吧，感觉不如《解救吾先生》真实、恐怖
绑匪的角色原来是留给河正宇的吧？制片人不难受吗？哪有绑票戏，肉票独自气霸全场的？
⭕️拉胯的西八国警方 应该是真本色演出了吧……
即使是黄政民也救不了这电影，翻牌的太扯了。
一般般吧，黄政民演黄政民也挺好。五个绑匪不算多，要是进电梯一个都跑不了
丁青那个狠劲儿真的是演出来的。咋不给李政宰打电话呢
过火，癫狂
好差……这绑匪比纸钞屋里那几个还蠢，人质不是黄政民xi就不会看了，不过这次黄政民演的也不是很黄政民。
挺流水的一部电影，如果没有黄政民大概率不会想看。
6.5/10.翻拍自2015年的《解救吾先生》，大框不变，细节差很多。韩版为了更接近真实事件，请了黄政民做主角，让他自己演自己，这一点很不错，黄政民可以对位刘德华的，但韩版反派则远远不如王千源，警察的角色也不行。
