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.
为什么没有生离死却那么让人心碎？
为什么没有生离死却那么让人心碎？
我看见我生命中的往昔
是为了给主演预留奥斯卡moment？短片的容量硬是水到两个小时，不过还是支持阿里三封
看这部片子两个感觉：一个是感觉场景和道具很精致，苹果拍的片子果然很有苹果的调调；另一个是一边看一边不停地问自己，如果自己是男主会怎么选择……看完时，也坚定了自己的选择：当然是选择替身去守护自己的家人！我怎么会舍得让家人去承受丧失亲人的悲痛！
只要是和克隆人技术有关，伦理是一个绕不开去的话题。影片的观点或许就是：替代者本身就完全是自己的DNA复制的，当本体即将死去，那么用克隆体继续生存下去是除了对自己本体不公以外，其余各方面来说都是最完美的解决方案。
平静、有张力，穿插回忆是我喜欢的风格，有点海边的曼彻斯特的味道，配乐很降临的约翰约翰森，可惜人早已不在了。阿里的独角戏，完成的很出色，奥斯卡有戏？画面景色精致好看，科技感符合苹果的调性。对于人性的挖掘有点浮于表面差点意思。
男主演得不错，但还是不太喜欢看他的脸。女主有点太完美，就好像夫妻生活中没有任何争吵。克隆体替你生存，帮你照顾家庭，或者克隆体，就是你。你死了，你的一部分还活着，所以你没有死。
情感的表现已经足够了 希望能有更多的伦理上的讨论
“不需要看剧情，看画面，看风景，看室内装饰，装修了。” 这是什么评论？看电影不需要看剧情？
马赫沙拉·阿里的演技+润物细无声的情感传递
诗意的闷片。“我”死后一个和“我”看起来一模一样且承载着“我”所有记忆的人代替“我”留在“我”爱的人身边，在生命尾声处“我”如何安排这一切接受这一切……如果把以上其中几个“我”换成“TA”，就是一个平平常常爱情片，但现在就是“高级”软科幻，科技就是人类自我中心的集大成体现。
这片子很有变成悬疑惊悚题材的潜质啊！我一直以为男主其实有双重人格，俩人校对时间不足导致克隆人体内另一个隐藏人格占了上风，然后男主杀回家救老婆孩子……我实在不适合看文艺片。哈哈！
近段时间看过的最好的作品，真是一首优雅的挽歌
没有多少科幻炫技的东西，其实通篇都是对生命、爱情的思考。看完莫名的伤感。
在短片体量的故事里把情感翻来覆去的探讨，阿里的表演还是这么稳，继续下去很难有一天不拿到男主。
画面干净，强迫症的审美，主题深刻，犹如一场宁静的心灵洗涤宴
克隆人替本體去生活……
画面很美，音乐很棒，剧情感人。但本人从伦理上不支持克隆人代替原主人寄托情感。
无私与自私的讨论 男主太伟大了以至于无法共情
