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.
带点悬疑性质的爱情片，想看的压迫与控诉的力度通通没达到，本来很有张力的局长一角，却也只化身成汲取权力欲望的工具人。
很好！要是男主不那么憨就好了，感觉他从头到尾都一个样我谔谔，为什么男主要留那个胡子，很奇怪而且很显老
压抑的黑历史，不得不怀疑是不是每个人内心都存在对同性的爱慕，只是看能不能遇到触发开关的那个人。男二颜值太可了，男主不被掰弯天理不容。
一开始死的那个人是为什么死，懵了，后面爸爸给儿子背锅了吗，我感觉是be了，明显主角要被抓到，男二瘸着也不知道能不能逃跑。
節奏奇快，部份情節處理過於商業。比性取向更要扭曲的政治取向。男主今年這部加《Leave No Traces》，同樣借史事反抗體制，人們不會忘記。你走吧，我會找到你。
除了色彩之外..其他太不出彩了..警察与被迫害人的纠缠，叫“之恋”然而爱的部分表现得太弱了..如果算是记录历史，压抑部分表现得也有些太平庸..
为了一种意义而打满分
情欲与犯罪，自由与政治，简单却精巧的设计，禁忌之恋在社会高压和权力腐败下更显压抑。
想打三星 因为觉得情感表达也欠了点 时代压抑感刻画得也不足够厚重 但转念又想 我是谁啊 有什么资格这么苛刻 还是四星吧
真实历史太残酷。这个片子只是切入了一点已经非常揪心了。
陌生人不值得信任。
很喜欢影像风格，这种强光影对立又光怪陆离的社会展现很轻易就想到银翼杀手了，而片子里展现的确实也是波兰同性恋群体在彼时所处的一个无出路的末世。
本来以为是部波兰版的虎口巡航，没想到好太多，剧本扎实，叙事清晰。把一个人特定时代特定身份的复杂性抽丝剥茧的展开，不论是社会，事业，家庭，都是令人窒息的。这样的特质危险又迷人。希望有一天，在黑暗里你们不用躲避追杀，夜空下的码头是两个相爱的人追逐繁星的地方。
剧情展开转折都还不错，但是跟踪那块有点扯（也太不专业了）…另外还纠结是掰弯还是深柜…男主怎么跟桑总这么像，还都叫Thomas…
老亨利，原来是比利小子的猜想版，挺不错的一部片子，虽然没啥情节，主要就是讲述了曾经的比利小子怎么退隐江湖了，再战江湖，结尾的乡村音乐不错！
艾瑞克对罗伯特说：“做人不能什么都害怕，尤其是害怕自由...”
其实怎么说呢，剧情其实挺俗套，好多情节都有似曾相识的感觉，但是仍然是欲罢不能，而且看完后意犹未尽！那段男男床戏拍的，可能我看的版本画质不是太好的原因，画面有点糊，有点影响观感，再多一点点就好了，漏的差一丢丢！整体是部好的电影，尤其是结尾，感谢导演编剧做个好人，至少没让观众看到两位男主挂掉，在我看来算是he了，值得加星！
虽然探案的部分写得一般，但类型片框架下的同性故事还是蛮少见的。两男主都很得劲，男主有一种闷骚的性感，而艾瑞克每次出现都像是黑暗中一闪而逝的流星。
要不是主角爹干了啥要不就是主角爹认识的某个大佬干了啥然后要主角爹摆平，然后主角查案查到自己身上😂 男主有点像达拉洛阳。。
电视电影水准的neo noir犯罪片，放在80年代波兰反同高峰的背景下让人唏嘘。
