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.
二战前夕的惶恐和一战留下来的创伤奠定了这部片子平稳、克制、压抑的叙事基调，无助与希望两股力量在那个年代每一个人心中不停对立冲撞。几乎没有太过戏剧化的高潮，但依旧精彩得让人目不转睛。把原著以惊悚谍战为主的心理戏完美呈现了出来，主演们的演技是此片得以成功的精髓。
二战影片浩如烟海，如此片关注二战将临前的那段时期的不多，尤其是关于英德之间签订慕尼黑协义的，更是少见。此片胜在题材新鲜。它采用了历史与虚构相结合的手法，影片似在为张伯伦的绥靖政策翻案。似乎关注点太多，未能聚焦于一点，如《奥斯陆协议》那样，更有一种焦灼感与历史现场感。在演员选择上，两个主角都似乎有些游离。最差的是影片开头，如此重大历史事件，却像是青春校园片一样，很不吸引人。
已经算是对原著不错的改编了（跟两位主演赏心悦目的脸以及chemistry很有关系
除了片尾评价，事实上挺符合历史的，我看着觉得挺嘲的，但评价“拖了一年让同盟国胜利”是什么鬼？而且球球了，racist这个词出来我实在不知道该笑还是该骂，用这个词来形容德三，太扯了吧……最后，这个德国小哥好帅啊！
Another side of the story.
We don't choose the times we live in.
“We don‘t choose the times we live in. The only choice we have is how we respond. Hoping is waiting for someone else to do it.” 劇中這個德國年輕人，👍
历史总是惊人的相似，当紧张气氛弥漫在凌晨的夜空之上，真得分不清历史和现实哪一个更加贴近我的生活……
合格分的二战爆米花，就是最后的字幕太屎了，绥靖和战胜纳粹都快吹成因果关系了，减1星。
虽然有喜欢演员不错表现但让人看不进去的改编历史剧。
慕尼黑会议的细节很写实，但洗白张伯伦不可取 还有演希特勒的演员没选好
节奏和镜头语言都挺棒的，说洗白的干嘛看电影看历史书就好了呀（的确可以搞同人，但我忍住了）
年轻人们的表演很好。张伯伦的选择宿命，也有年轻人在时代里的选择宿命。“我只能拿自己手里的牌去玩。”“我们不能选择生活的时代，我们唯一的选择就是如何回应。”可当《至暗时刻》的前篇看。
We don’t choose the times we live in. The only choice we have is how we respond.
对这个电影的好感更多来自于求知欲的满足，从来不对二战感兴趣，以往的了解都来自于影音资料。在还原历史的基础上，凸显了几个人物，历史既视感很强。两位小人物的性格直接影射了英国的保守与德国的激进。小人物的努力与首相的选择做出对比，深感政治真是无上的脑力游戏。
作为历史上的事情，又多了一点的了解，慕尼黑协定的签订，为后来二战中能够击败德国做出了一点贡献，这是值得大家去了解的，至于张伯伦签订的协议也是无奈之举，当时的德国确实太强大了，我们能够看到以前的故事也是非常的不错了。
1.张伯伦正名之战。绥靖政策似乎是当时唯一解。2.片头片尾还有片尾曲好棒。3.30年代的复古质感拉满。4.元首除了不太像，演的还蛮不错。5感情线弱了一点，最有张力的地方出现在中后段。结尾反而趋于平淡。6.最后回来的那架飞机涂装银光闪闪，非常好看。
片头开始 忍不住想 两次大战怎么会如此密集地发生在这样的地方。这些年轻人如何进入战争 带着信念 不再回来。
如果非说张伯伦的决定为英法同盟争取来了一年的时间 我…？ / 双男主好帅 请让我偶遇paul的男演员吧
1张伯伦真！没什么好洗的，因为张伯伦白了，丘吉尔岂不黑了（虽然政治都是灰的…2两个异国小帅锅又使眼色又送小纸条的，不知道的还以为这是一部不远千里来私会的政治版call me by your name…3当时德国是环境造就了希特勒，不是希特勒造就当时的疯癫，就算当时下的了手，一个“希特勒”倒了还会有千千万万个“希特勒”站起来的…4就电影而言拍得还算不错，张弛有度
