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.
中规中矩体育片，爱篮球的值得一看。伯乐与千里马的相遇拍得一般，分别倒是拍出感觉了，机场球员看着教练不见身影那段，使电影提升不少。但转折太快，就和全片一样，有很多剧作技巧上的安排，就是处理得较粗糙。
能让观众从剧情和画面中感受到它所展现的运动的魅力，就已经成功了，谁还在乎套不套路呢。
ben foster真真真看到一半才反应过来
风格不喜，明明可以拍得很好，却非要拍着玩。
正所谓千里马常有，而伯乐不常有，球探斯坦利恰恰就是博·克鲁兹亦师亦父的伯乐。
诶从《原钻》到这部，对亚当·桑德勒演技好感度直线回升。训练蒙太奇果然还提到一嘴《洛奇》，虽然这种运动励志很难有什么新意，但这部是真的会让人很振奋的那种，真诚，充满相信奇迹的力量。（靠，到底来了多少NBA球星啊哈哈哈哈哈哈！）
非常俗套的剧情，戈麦斯的表演也带动不起情绪……还有，既然设定这么牛逼，为什么一群大牌给戈麦斯当配角？
比较老套的体育励志电影 和字母哥的传记片同期上映。显得这部电影还没有那部传记来的传奇和不容易。 好几个NBA球星客串倒是挺好玩 大鲨鱼的新闻台 德克的视频 艾佛森的小视频 吹杨的小客串。
典型鸡汤片，但NBA浓度实在太浓了。
非常俗套的剧情，戈麦斯的表演也带动不起情绪……还有，既然设定这么牛逼，为什么一群大牌给戈麦斯当配角？
亚当桑德勒的片子真的看个片名就知道套路，同理还有本斯蒂勒，反正就也差不到哪，也没有什么惊喜。特别热爱篮球的可以一看
非常老套的设定，无非又是代表着强势米帝的NBA到相对落后的国家薅人才的故事。丧丧的桑德勒带着一脸的中年疲惫和曾经的辉煌传奇，再次和来自西班牙的天才运动员共创巅峰!好多致敬，好多情怀，好多拼搏!没有那么惊艳，但是非常好看、有完成度的一部电影!
的初心吧！

最后一次机会
你，离NBA选秀明星只差一个亚当桑德嘞了。
整片节奏很平淡，不像拳击题材戏剧冲突很多，但，这才正常！
勒布朗监制的大片，其实主演埃尔南戈麦斯打得还行，空间型3d也是有地方可打，希望现实中也牛掰起来。华子演的还不错，未来可期~
3.5星，想去选秀的球员可以看看，简单了解一下垃圾话文化和新秀赛季吹罚尺度等信息
不知道为啥会挑黄桥来演这片，好在黄桥表现得挺不错（除了身上的纹身有点恶心人）。阿软和东蝗都有客串，华子的表演挺可爱。
