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.
虽然看似主角们做的是无用功，虽然最后的战争没有避免，但不做怎么能知道呢
电影拍的好的一点在于，即使已经知道了历史的结局，但男主在纠结是否行刺希特勒的时候还是看的紧张的要死。
三星半，还行，不过，试图给张伯伦翻案，好似不是那个理。
心脏不好 数次在党卫兵搜查环节暂停 演技精湛 CP我站
故事把那个年代的人可能会经历的所有历史事件都套到了两位男主身上，还有模板式的人物设定和关键节点抉择，这编剧大概是看了几百本二战耽美同人吧，怎么能融合的这么丝滑？
Another side of the story.
拍摄画面道具表演都无功无过。但是“the extra time bought by the munich agreement enabled GB and her allies to prepare for war and ultimately led to Germany's Defeat”？当真大家没读过历史书么?又想起高中课本里百团大战下一课就是日本投降，差点让我以为正是因为百团大战才导致了日本战败呢
典型的为表现主题，瞎凑各种大俗烂、想当然、不合理、不严谨桥段。
英国外交官不回家的原因找到了 心系德牧 （荞麦和三姐别搭了演完母子演夫妻这俩人真没啥cp感） 无论如何做出过努力而不是在等死，总会有希望，而不抱希望会更好。车内道别一场，美人流泪心痛！
不要再塑造一个又一个千篇一律的妻子角色了，真的。
影片没有像过去的二战时期一样叙事，更多的着笔于人物内心的刻画与演变，以人为本，总是好事；任何大背景下都有义盖云天的小人物在努力，可能尽管改变不了结局，也会彰显人性的光芒；人物越笨拙，故事越真实，人若是从结局往开始的方向活着，会出现更多拔枪的壮士。摄影有点操蛋，该晃不该晃的都瞎几把晃，既没添光加彩，还略失时代庄重，晕车患者慎入……
这种确实很难拍出新意。对张伯伦的翻案由来已久，在慕尼黑那种情况下他能做的确实不多；希特勒这状态怕不是四五年在柏林地堡，那时可正是趾高气扬的时候。主角偏年轻，演恰同学少年可以，白发谋国就有点儿不够看了。
现在的同盟国主旋律都这么拍了啊？充满了小学作文的套路，英德首脑上班没事就爱跟科员掏心掏肺，两个小朋友在一群党卫军守卫的会议大厅急赤白脸地争论间谍行动方案，最后两位主人公着急大喊寄意寒星荃不察，张伯伦微笑说我以我血荐轩辕，大家都感觉胸前的红领巾更加鲜艳了。现在能把英国二战的绥靖洗得干干净净，未来就能解释为啥北约到处抛媚眼，勾搭到手再跟人家说“要不我们做兄妹吧”。
虚构的剧情和人设有点太假了，今日的乌东俄语区就是当年的苏台德地区，而欧洲人对纳粹的绥靖主义还在继续
真实历史之下架空的故事让发挥的空间小得多，虽然片子在某种程度上给出了对于张伯伦想法的解释，但是片尾字幕硬是夸大慕尼黑谈判给战争胜利带来的意义却也可笑。
1932年，一切都是捕风捉影，谁也不知道“为了德国的未来”会造成欧洲怎样的苦难，政治家的口号是拉选票，搞“一揽子政策”，更好的表演，更多的选票，很难有人看到口号背后驱动的运行机制会让民众会承受哪些代价，本质上的意识形态是什么，知识份子阶层不得不从一片吵闹中摆明立场，不断转译、据理立争；1935年，莉娜知识分子和犹太人的双重身份让她洞悉这个政权的吊诡和惊悚之处，也很快成为反纳粹主张的祭品，直到爱国的保罗发现国之为国的暴虐和阴郁是以莉娜的牺牲为代价；1937年，保罗获得跟希特勒共处一室的暗杀机会，但终归被朋友休及时报信按捺住一腔热血，所幸，武统欧洲的机密文件得以保全成为“反人类”证供。恶的势力不可抵挡，至少张伯伦争取到了同盟国统一阵线共同参战反法西斯的盟友，冒险没有白费，否则世界会是纳粹的世界。
抱歉，张伯伦永远洗不白，无论是上帝视角还是当时的视角。
家国情仇融合的比较好的影片了，如果是政治家可以看看不同层次政治家的权术运作，也可以看看年轻政治家的热情；我们普通人看看休和妻子之间的夫妻关系微妙变化。无论我们的关注点在哪场战争，两位年轻人都懂得了很多处理问题方式也成熟了许多。
在虚构的历史片段里回答现实的问题: 我们不能选择自己生活的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。
