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.
老牛仔的告别诗
#小两口的午夜影院
如何温柔地与现实妥协，脚步放缓的同时也试图想让一切变的更加细水长流，让所有的美好都更加美好，让所有的温情都更加动人，没有任何技巧，没有任何所谓的套路与转折，只看到我们自己内心真正想要的东西。不过可以看出最后的倔强依然也在被保留和坚持，这趟关于西部情怀的公路之旅，是应该让当下花花世界所看到的，需要被铭记的那段回忆与歌谣。所有美好到不真实的瞬间都或许是自己享受过的梦境，不愿醒来，因为醒来的时候眼角会湿润。
我们都是某对父母的孩子，不是什么上帝的孩子
平平无奇，单纯有的只剩点情怀，西部片还是混碟市吧
情节之间僵硬脱节，不是很好的剧作。老牛仔的暮年哀伤，我相信东木自己是接受时代和岁月变迁的，但是对于一个几乎将自己2/3人生都贡献给电影的人多少还是能看出他的不甘心和不消停（褒义）。希望老爷子长命百岁，我认为对于东木的最好结局是逝于片场吧。
东木老爷子还真是不闲着，拍完骡子又搞这么一出没什么剧情的片子，一老一小一鸡走一路，还找了个墨西哥娘们在无名小镇安了家
东木91的高龄仍然在拍片，他不知道怎样治愈老去，但每年仍为我们带来一个old school的故事，这就够了。
简介有误吧。老牛仔去带孩子的原因是他还欠着农场主的人情，而农场主当初在墨国有以前妻名义投资的产业，现在农场主想以孩子要挟前妻才有了这个故事。
伊斯特伍德以这样一部电影告别导演生涯实在太令人难过了，给我一种豆腐工程的感觉。不过对于东木，也不能要求更多了吧
关于这个人物没有可信度。老爷子的金句在最后，反西部牛仔的宣言。
平淡到没有高潮的公路片！每个人都有故事，但好像故事也很普通。伊斯特伍德用简单的故事在回顾自己吧！我们都应该往前看！老爷子只要拍就行，就算拍他喝喝酒，吹吹牛皮都行！！
伊斯特伍德以这样一部电影告别导演生涯实在太令人难过了，给我一种豆腐工程的感觉。不过对于东木，也不能要求更多了吧
三星半。老爷子出手质量还是能保证的，一老一少一只战斗鸡，一段穿越边界线的旅程，这部片子里善良的人比较多。
晚年的东木所赋予影像本身的与其称之为温柔不如说是静静的凝视，好莱坞式老少公路片的模板被套上了一层真挚的外壳，尽管东木执导的那么多电影看起来都是在叙述同一个理念，但那个孤身将自己留在西部世界的侠客仍旧让人愿意为他在荧幕上的调笑打上满分，有时我们对电影本身应该做的就是这样，镜头放在那里，我们怀着一颗欣慰的心仔细扫视着画面中的一切老物件，这本身就已经足够迷人。也许不及理查德朱维尔那般普世，但却是东木本心的表露，一部沉静下来的电影。“你以前很坚强，男子气概，但现在不再了”“男子气概被高估了，人们想表现出男子气概来让人们觉得他们勇敢。当你老了，你才发现你什么都不明白 而当你意识到时，已经太晚了。你必须做出自己的选择。”
其实很明白老而弥坚的东木导演自导自演这部电影的心境，宝刀已老，虽然曾驰骋疆场，但现在却难堪大用，心理落差可见一斑。电影里的故事情节体现出了东木导演牛仔气质的一面，为了保护心爱的女人孩子离开家。但是故事情节和人物成长都太单薄了。
因为是东木才能为这片子赋予更多的韵味，那些台词从这个百岁老人口中缓慢模糊的说出来的时候，有强大的治愈和力量。
老爷子依旧审视着，却无力辨析或施加什么，看看挺好。愿他平安。
比《老爷车》稍微缺了一点点，但比《Mule》要好很多。
老爷子那皮鞋真的帅 愿我老了也像老爷子一样飒
