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.
革命与抗议者有像雷尼和汤姆的热血学生领袖，像杰瑞与艾比的宣扬反叛的嬉皮士，像戴维的稳中求健的社会学家，大家性格各异，但是他们聚集在全待会前，都是为了宣扬反战思想。表达大众意愿的人，应该永远得到尊敬。
此时此刻此地，倒是无需去谈论人作为人 自由说话的权利，不妨更多去考虑，人作为人 去包容不同观点的能力。全世界都在看着呢。

是否存在一个民权运动电影的现象？《芝加哥七君子审判》是目前看到最成熟的，无论是叙事线把握整合的能力还是煽情的能力（沉默与暴力的对接是最显见的精彩剪辑），奇怪的是，要为这类电影做一个精彩的收尾莫非真是一件难事？太泄气了
不得不说比索金上一部导演的片子稳了太多，该痛就痛该爽就爽。一切历史都是当代史，是“OUR blood”掀起了暴乱。波拉特演了个这么严肃（？）的角色差点没认出来
也许是鄙人经历过1980年代末期的各种运动思潮，对于游行抗争有直面的感受。
当然仅代表我个人偏见~
好好改改剧本说不定能拿奥斯卡，剧情不怎么样，但是还是值得五星。
剪辑厉害，尤其是当海登说“our”的时候，忍不住流泪了, If blood is going to flow, let it flow all over the city, but it is OUR blood. 而且艾比对海登文风的了解，读过他全部发表的文章，就这么一小段，人物之间的联系就立体了起来，拍得太好了。
两个多月没有看电影，享受每一分钟。跳出电影的话，对选举的热爱有点迷信了？
说鸡确实够鸡，但能做到这么鸡也是人中凤凰了。
群像刻画，法庭交锋，雄浑稳健，精彩纷呈。不愧是律师之子，艾伦·索金重拾最擅长的法庭题材，比92版《好人寥寥》的冲击更甚，而且这回自编自导，不假他人之手，还原半个世纪前的时代风云对于今日美利坚犹有深意。且看颁奖季能否获青睐，得之老骥伏枥，不得也不会影响本片跻身其最佳作品行列。
最后一段过于煽，the whole world is watching 太好莱坞，不喜欢，中间几个时空穿插讲故事的方式还是不错的
National Chairman of the Black Panther Party
好久没有看到这么节奏紧凑的剧情片了，开头短短几分钟交代故事背景，剪辑衔接得也十分自然流畅，还不时穿插一些小幽默。
讲真，小兰是不是被PUA了，新一这种动不动就玩消失的臭男人怎么这么容易原谅的！墨迹死啦！本柯南死忠粉从小学追到现在都特么奔三了他俩居然才亲上，救命好吧！而且这集真的推理是什么鬼？拿注射器喷到天花板上这种鬼点子我用脚趾头都想不出来……而且不会溅到自己身上吗？注射器又跑哪去了！fine！我知道不重要……anyway，即便如此，已经比近几年的剧场版都要好看了……
索金通过改编真实的美国历史，来引导现在社会的反思。索金高密度的台词让我一开始很担心会跟不上剧情节奏，何况有7个人物要处理。但整体还是不错的，虽然7个人物并没有个个立体全面，但像Abbie和Tom这两位令我印象深刻，Abbie看似嬉皮笑脸实则聪明正义，Tom看似立场摇摆却最后贡献了全片结尾的高潮，以及代表国家的那位律师，虽从出场戏里就能看出端倪，但片中他请法官判那位黑豹党首领判决无效和结尾他的起立，都令我动容。但不得不说，索金作为导演还是属于中等，强于《茉莉牌局》，但横向对比其它法庭戏，还是略显单薄，毕竟一部电影靠的不单是索金牛逼的对话戏。
酒吧外是20世纪60年代，酒吧内是20世纪50年代，时代正在那些不在意的人眼皮底下发生，你可以选择无视，但全世界都在看
也是上课看的，学生都不爱看。对于这段历史我也不了解，虽然有点感兴趣，有些点还是能看懂的，但是还是太晦涩了
最后的庭审群像仿佛油画
