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.
为了孙道临先生看的，虽说不能以现在的标准评判当时的意识，但是女演员的表演也太浮夸了吧？！
“同志们，永别了，我想念你们。” 老上海的故事。
典型老电影的感觉，起承转合是有点慢且尬（现在人的节奏），但胜在真实与真挚——看过那么多谍战片，这个才第一次感受到谍报人员发电报的实际操作多困难重重以及那时候延安人有多坚定，女主一开始潜伏那种反应说实话现在一个人都演不出来，因为现在人本身就不那么想了。最后，我靠孙道临和王心刚真是帅疯了（最后的最后 我运气好好 又赶上了主创场
水门桥观后感：80分/100分
去看了彩色修复版，好便宜11块，电影本身没啥说的，经典，就是好在意李侠好像秃了但又秃的很帅好神奇啊，还有一处就是车里的人彩色的车窗外的景色还是黑白的😂
影片还是可以的。剧情丰富，波折较多，最后的结尾实现升华。
向故事原型李白邱裘慧珍夫妇致敬！
中国式叙事的特征，精彩的戏剧冲突和日常生活过场的结合。我似乎明白为什么很多老编剧写得那么流水账了。
爱情合乎道理，却失去真正的情感，与王苹导演曾流露的细腻情感抒写有所不同，全然为了革命叙事所服务。深究为什么选择黄丽芬，不过是因为人物思想不够成熟，需要革命者的帮助才可走向成长。两人的孩子也是不明不白，若能适当增加些许微妙的感情戏，想必影片会有另一番风景。姚苇这一可笑的人物，最终也没变得可悲，有些扁平化。
话说记得几年前看到孙道临主持节目，好像是个朗诵节目，直播，一上来三次忘词，结果那是最后一次见到他了……对自己的打击太大了……
表演、镜头和音乐都很好。“高大全”是不是缺点呢？也不一定。“反套路”能叙述的就一定没有那么伟大恢弘。
“共产党地下工作人员”这几个字儿并不写在人的脸上，但我们“反派”这两个字儿都是写在脸上的。
忘不了蛋糕里面藏发报机，可惜了那么大的蛋糕🎂
①无论是学校里的李白雕像，或者是我作为第一届李白团支部的成员，李白始终是作为抽象符号出现，电影也不能避免，反而是兰芬这个角色，真正完成了某种形象的塑造。②彩色修复仍有瑕疵，比如把黑白照片都修复成彩色了。不过结局牺牲的画面由彩色转为黑白，挺好的表达方式。（2021-12-29）
大年初一看水门桥，是件挺揪心的事。拍得也不是多好，主人公依次悲壮的死法其实是很刻意的，但我又没办法不难受。
这不比长津湖好看？尽管有严重的意识形态倾向和一些刻板形象，但叙事节奏、几个主要角色的表演很容易让人沉浸到电影中，这才叫红色电影。｜3.5星
类型片的优秀典型，危机与急中生智、自我质疑与坚定付出，孙道临老师的一身正气满腔热血塑造了一位经典英雄形象。（上色修复总感觉有些柔焦
另外不管烈士形象被塑造得多么伟光正，永远希望不要再有战争了。。。
演员们的表演和说话方式会容易让人出戏，但也不会是冲着表演来看的哇~那个绿色衣服的胖孩儿真的太可爱了，电影里的爹妈不管谁抱他，都拿他的大脸往人肩膀上贴贴
爷爷是从那个年代过来的人，他一边看一边掉眼泪。
