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.
BJIFF.摄影最绝了！缓慢电影爱好者的盛宴。科学探险队对峡谷的探险实际上也是一种破坏，老人和深洞互为象征。村民看电视里的人乘坐电梯爬高楼，小孩子戴着探照灯是夜晚乡村里唯一的光，现代文明的到来真的是件好事情吗？难道不是入侵的一种？深入洞穴的过程也深入了我的意识，不管是滴滴答答的水声还是满眼的绿色都是一种深度放松。
看完像和自然一起做了场冥想，山里的雾在银幕上像是被罩出细小网格。牛铃铛在山里的回荡环绕在前两次徒步中体验过，真的太舒服了😭只是这次去的影院椅背挡视线真的难受
2021BJIFF最后一部。滴答滴答，是-678米深洞的水声，也是老牧羊人一呼一吸间流走的生命。片尾那几声吆喝，像招魂铃。
电影节奏把握得很好，没有拖沓的感觉，几个妈妈和儿子的对手戏很赚眼泪。尤其那句“你是先天残疾，人们不会怪你，人们怪的是我。”唉……当妈的也有很多心酸
听觉和视觉的接力：血管、洞穴、墨水、光线、火与皮球，创造听觉的动线，始终维持纵深的、延展的视觉运动
很喜欢，可以一直看下去。但是看的时候又觉得挺荒诞，这不就是几百年前几千年前最近的生活吗？现在被记录下来，运到城市里，四处来的陌生人塞在一个黑暗的洞穴里一起观看，这本身不就是一场仪式吗
是啊，连他都可以做到，为什么我们一个正常人反而不行了。
回到電影本身，亮點和重點有點抓不住，感覺想講的很多又都沒有講清楚
北影节最差体验寰映合生汇场留念
没有过分的鸡汤，没有刻意的煽情，没有奋斗的主旋律，有的只是一个倔强生命平淡却不平凡的成长历程。更重要的，从这个影片我们看到的不仅是面对困难克服困难的励志精神，我们还能看到很多残酷现实，比如残奥冠军同工不同酬的奖金、关乎成绩的训练与关乎生计的打工拍广告之间的矛盾、即便成名也难以找到伴侣的窘境。种种这些令人心酸的剧情片段，都让这部影片显得更加有血有肉，同时激发观众更深层次的思考——对残疾人生存现状的关注。
"我不是篮球队的，我是足球队的，妈"
88'不要怕，怕就输了一半🇬🇱
聚焦不一样的人，审视不一样的美。
真的容易睡着，完全不需要字幕……老人死去，洞探到底。山洞里的摄影和调度还是牛逼的！
没睡着，拍得挺诗意。一些空镜很好看，加上声音，有种空灵的美。就是没太想明白，探洞与人类生命之间的联系到底是什么。【BJIFF2021】
探险戛然而止，生命戛然而止，遗体运过山头，图纸的终结不似前笔细腻，空白，空白，空白……后面几十分钟情节上终于开始有意思，你知道它终会停止，它也毫无波澜地停止了。
with微粒；音樂從頭舖到尾真的夠⋯國語配音我直呼🆘
追逐梦想催泪感人，过于用力刻意，感觉不如老爸跑步。
没拿金狮真的可惜，实在是太有诗意的的电影。远离尘嚣的山村里，人们透过黑白电视好奇地观望城市里的繁华。而城市里的人们却走进大山去探寻未知的洞穴。老人会站在山顶观赏着无比壮丽的风景，也会在夜晚的篝火里和朋友们聊着天泪眼朦胧。现代人的生活已经很难回到这样悠然见南山的环境下了，科技的发展让世界的未知越来越少，也让我们内心都渴望拥有一份宁静。希望每年都能有更多这样的作品问世。
故事和节奏是剧本的锅。
