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.
7/10。斯科特运用展示竞技场全貌的远景跟拍和近景的残酷搏杀，拍摄冲突双方的殊死对抗，驾马迎击的骑士被乡绅打掉手中的长矛，盾牌也被击碎，坠马后他向周围人要斧头与乡绅决斗，力量慢慢消失，乡绅拿起匕首刺伤骑士的大腿，却逐渐遭受压制，拒绝坦白作最后挣扎，骑士用刀穿透了他张开的嘴，可是事关尊严和名誉的大男子主义，性侵受害者的发声却淹没在群众对英雄的欢呼中，她的身体被男性当成了一件非人化的器具，用于传宗接代和打击丈夫尊严。斯科特的复调叙事营造的不是中世纪惯常的恢弘气势，反而一再削弱关于女性启蒙和教会王权的反思，他牵扯出一个庄园的所有权冲突、骑士对领主的抱怨和包庇强暴的神权制度，所有这些琐事不足够使人共情，而发情的劣马强上母马来隐喻性侵害这场戏，结尾女主角在飘着花香味的庄园里看宝宝学步，都稍显浅白和俗套了。
感谢雷德利，从异形到末路狂花再到本片，一直致力于女性电影的发展。
换人物视角，看似一场metoo大戏，但编剧对事件的悬念不感兴趣，讲男人和女人如何看待事件，而上帝总会站在正义的一边。老雷拍这种历史剧也是好莱坞第一人了，功力毋庸置疑。
碰瓷罗生门，但出发点却完全的不同，虽然我是小透明但也不敢再说了……罗生门当年我给4星，这个本来想少1星，但想到老雷已经84岁了，再加上从电影本质来讲本片还是非常精彩的，那就还是给到4星吧
以中世纪为背景的女权电影，一个女人被强奸了，她希望说出真相、使罪犯获得应有的惩罚，而在她之前，更多的女性如果不是全部女性在他们的保护人不在场时或许都受过这种侮辱，而她们的选择时沉默，因为说出真相或许意味着更大的伤害甚至付出生命的代价，幸好我们的主角是幸运的。
虽是罗生门结构，但是每个人对真相的理解大体还是诚实的，只是在立场和程度上有所区别，这一点很现实主义；罪人知罪，倒是丈夫自我欺骗得最多。 // Ridley Scott执导细节把握得好，高潮决斗功力老道；本马达组合作为联合编剧的贡献或许比表演还要多。 // 一个有趣的点是，国王看似昏君，但在当时情境下看，所做的决策却算是最公平合理的。
三个不同视角的罗生门，丈夫，舆论，狗屁朋友，庭审对被强奸女性的不友好把我看哭了。
其实并不如《异形》和《末路狂花》那么有力量，算是借古讽今的作品。朱迪·科默值得一个影后，这片子男主换几个人貌似也差不太多，但女主功力差一点点都不行。一个有意思的点：第三段标题出现后，“The Truth”一个词比其它几个词多停留了几秒钟才消失；结尾字幕也够讽刺：Jean几年后在另一场决斗中丧生。
雷德利斯科特借用本片迴應了他1977年的處女作《決鬥的人》，以決鬥為題材，以十四世紀的中世紀法國為時代背景，雷德利斯科特在歷史資料基礎上再作演藝式創作，以“羅生門”角度敘述故事，但並非模糊真相或者揭露人性本相，而是以細微的動作表情和視點的差異表達出更荒繆的感覺，男性的自大和墮落摧殘了女性的尊嚴也成就了最後的決鬥，時勢造英雄也造狗熊，最後的決鬥之所以緊張不止因為場面調度的激烈，還因為無論誰勝誰負乃止同歸於盡，都無法得到真正的公義。編導用貌似平淡的語調，實際誘導觀眾對最後決鬥產生了一種愚民看殺頭的暗湧張力。
将第三章直接打上真相是偷懒讨巧的做法，
看完电影再扫扫评论区的评论不觉想笑:
胜者王侯败者寇 | 罗生门式的三方叙述，每个人都觉得自己是好的没错的一方。不论是否强行改写记忆。而吃瓜皇帝和群众们乐得看一场决斗好戏。老实说，按照这样三方一人一个说法的话，又是信奉上帝裁决的中世纪，我是皇帝我也得判决斗。 | 从现代角度来说的确是妥妥的强奸了，只要违背女性意愿发生就是了。
现代人视角下的中世纪metoo故事，我所看过最为残忍和有力的故事之一。She said he said的剧本框架聪明且不失层次，许多配角着墨不多却铿锵有力。指控之尖锐让人很难想象这是Ridley Scott一个84岁的人拍的，所有年龄不及他思想先进程度也不及他的都应该好好反省一下自己。
罗生门题材，比起男人更让人寒心的是片中别的女性的不理解，亚当司机演英俊的花花公子让我觉得所有人都瞎了
依然直男视角下的“女性都不容易”：她们是欲望的工具，她们是政治的博弈，她们是生育的机器……世界电影下的女性表达都翻出花来了，他们还搁这喊大口号呢
中世纪“Me too”故事。很多人把它比作中世纪“罗生门”，其实并不是。因为真相就是最后一章的女主视角，那个淡出的“Truth”已经足够明显。整部电影最后韵脚停在了貌似正义获胜的决斗场景，悲哀的是这场决斗根本和正义无关。雷德利斯科特真的是目前还活着的电影大师里最高产最革新的了。整部片子基本坚持实景拍摄，绿幕特效很少。中世纪战斗做得简直要赶上《角斗士》水准了，远超《权力的游戏》里械斗水平。很遗憾由于本片营销策略失败，夹在007和沙丘之间，票房惨淡。但我想即便档期选好一点，这类没有噱头、不加笑料的严肃电影恐怕也已经不被观众青睐了。
果然受害者女性的视角最窒息和无助绝望，两个男人的视角里自己都是那个正确的骄傲的主人。女主说得对，她丈夫决斗只是为了他自己，根本不顾他失败后女主就要被活活烧死他们的孩子变成孤儿的可能性。几百年过去了，不同版本一样性质的事情根本没停止过。
“罗生门”式的结构，再现历史，尽管有些冗长，但电影除了有张力的暴力场面之外，更多的是戏剧冲突，老雷在镜头下的把控力实在是能力超群，加上大本和呆萌的编剧联手，都保证了这部电影的水准。
老雷居然拍了大量的文戏，还是一个性侵的题材，当然也无需惊讶，毕竟他在早年还拍过末路狂花啊。段落结构上，是罗生门式的，有港片叹息桥的感觉，不同角色陈述同一件事情，内容发生微妙变化，前两段男人之间的戏也显示了不同的内容，有点像职场戏，却使关注点出现了些许失焦，核心表达点还是要以女性的视角作为基准去看。另一点，吊诡的是，最终事件的解决，是通过一场决斗，以男性+暴力+强权 式的决定方式，胜者全胜，得到认同，获得颂扬。这样来看，中世纪及至700余年后的当今，世界的运作，还是强者掌握话语权，似乎从来没有存在过正义、公理，或者公理也只是强者认定的公理。演员都很强，气场到位，年度十佳！
极为考究的细节 从台词到表演 每个人的视角与真相的差距 男人可以输可以赢 女人没有胜利
