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.
从影片中可以看出，导演和编剧带有一定的倾向性，落脚点是对种族运动的支持和同情，因此，对三名参与者在行动过程中所采取的行动，具有一定的美化意思。选取的几个角色也各有特点，三个为自由而战斗的“同志”，一个对种族问题有同情心的警察队长，一个司法部部长的女儿，具有深切的宽容、同情心，还有一个极力掩饰自己人种的混血儿等。影片的主题是把一场预先谋划的袭击案转化为一场不可预料的种族问题讨论会。
挣扎是蛮真实的惨绿少年挣扎，结局很理想化，然而即使是听到理想化建构下具有同理心的发言，也让人稍稍宽心。以及gay不能组建自己的家庭，请把矛头对准同性婚姻法和社会规训，不要把女性当成你们的牺牲品。纵有数十次拳头硬了的瞬间，但男主好帅，我也想飞往bl星
另外骗婚这事，就算诚是异性恋，与不爱的人结婚和婚内出轨就不存在了么？我一直在想，把这一类现象按出轨人的性取向进行分类真的有意义吗…
比预想的拍的要好！
好长气的对话，其实推进得好慢。但这三人的精神觉悟还是很高的，不伤害任何平民、警察，因为他们深知这么操作会变质，他们只是需要引起社会的足够重视就够了。任何一个运动或项目，要推翻或达成这件事，都不是那么容易的。电影把现实中的他们美化了，然后还牵起释放曼德拉的运动，是真的么？补补历史才行，否则就会出现英国绥靖导致二战参战国有时间备战这些错误的历史认识
为之心路，从迷茫到彷徨，再到绝望，涅槃。如此真实，如此而已
看到三分之二的时候愣是给爷整笑了。就这么放走了警察整个行动的头头？这智商也是没谁了。每个人的动机都不明，此片充分证明了南非电影水平和中国在同一个水平线。

摩天轮上，女主羞涩地想要表白，但一直说不出口，男主主动说「我喜欢你」，女生喜极而泣。看到这段，在联系到现实中很多gay一面说自己是同性恋，一面又骗婚生子，目的达到后就冷暴力妻子……觉得男主惨，女主更惨。不过从某个角度来说，男主只是个高中生，他努力想要融合进刻板印象及其深的高中生活，做个普通学生。他最终也意识到自己的行为不对，不再伪装。
80年代争取独立是正义的，这是与kb分子的区别
居然改编自真实事件，反种族隔离的三人被迫劫持银行，只为了自由而战营救曼德拉。当时现场情况肯定比影片精彩！
这是我见过最温和的抢银行，这是我见过最。不害怕的人质。30年前的80年代的南非，到底是黑人说了算还是白人说了算？麦格拉在民众中的心目中的地位是如此之高。
这片子不错，但拍成这样肯定是为了符合南非的现状，黑人没错，但白人也不都坏。如果在照这样黑白泾渭分明下去，南非跌入贫困国家行列也不稀奇。
剧播的时候就很喜欢这个故事，所以电影也一直很期待。
“自由的代价是什么”，对不起，我笑了，这句台词是突然从哪条缝里面蹦出来的，尴不尴尬啊，明明从头到尾拍的是黑人反白人的殖民统治和种族压迫，怎么一下子就变成为“自由”而战了？这片不会是给“颜色革命”拍的吧？反压迫反歧视怎么就和“自由”挂上钩了，这么莫名其妙的逻辑居然还有不少人附和。很多人给高分可能是因为讲的是“种族歧视”，但该片片尾把“种族歧视”问题转变成了为“自由”为战，变味了好吗。
基本上不过取材于历史真实事件的外壳，电影本身的情节全部都是虚构的，而且还夹带了当下庸俗但「政治正确」的私货，「三义士」是南非黑人解放运动成功后的「由果倒退」的虚名，却被本片编导煞有介事的炮制「神话」，可见电影作为纯粹的宣传工具时的不堪。
虽然是基于真实事件，但剧情起码有一半是编的（不懂司法部女儿这个角色的存在是为啥，略煽情做作）。不过历史上Silverton trio的确点燃了释放曼德拉的星星之火。为自由而战的故事永远让人动容。
神尾枫珠老司机也下海，不过感觉没有在恋之月里那么投入情感。（都22年了依旧沉迷恋之月。（话说好多靠脸老师里的同学演员啊，神尾一会学生一会老师的，真的可以啊。（如果有BL星球，那神明一定磕疯了。（还有就是BL是BL，现实是现实啊……
只能说一句，导演牛X~~~自由的代价大到超乎你的想象
困惑期的故事看完总是觉得疲惫和无聊，看剧时内心反应也会是“这没必要、没必要”“这也是大可不必”
