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.
全片都是大炮打蚊子、好浪费钱的感觉，讽刺得非常做作，全明星阵容呈现了各自浮夸的表演，如果请一群不太知名的演员小成本拍摄可能更舒服
美国抗疫现状了属于是。除了对我国的低估，美国部分拍的相当符合现状，也够讽刺，只是这些愤怒的编剧和还有脑子的美国人大概笑不出来，无奈更多。话说低分是因为讽刺到某些人了吗~
最早是在纽时科学版上看到说起这个片子，写文的编辑说自己曾经发布过小行星可能撞地球的新闻，当时一时群情激昂。本以为这是个科幻片，没想到是个闹剧讽刺片。讽刺的对象多多少少能看出来，娱乐至死的美国精神也能体会，但这样的片子不是我的茶，小李子和大表姐都是大学都没上过的巨星，演教授和博士生不能让人信服，白宫厨房休息间的陈设布置倒是看着和我邻居家里差不多。片子太长，到后来我一边倍速看一边干点杂事，都没整明白甜茶啥时候出场演了个啥角色。
不愧是“改编自即将发生的真实事件”，对现实生活的讽刺鞭辟入里，跟以往的灾难片也都不一样，结尾好评。
这片子大概表达的就是，政治商业化，太空安全商业化，媒体娱乐化，民智娱乐化，总结起来就是美国药丸。
和平时：同住地球村
资本主义专属闹剧，美利坚人民肯定爱死这部片子了。
梦想实现，就是苦了地球上的动物。以及无论在哪个宇宙，都要最先杀了Jonah Hill
荒诞又真实。这就是我最担心的情况，科学家被政客和商人孤立和边缘化，最后普通民众被洗脑。
当民主制度遭遇社交网络，在后媒体时代引发的反噬，是这个时代知识分子讽刺的主流思潮，不要总觉得西方为我们编织了一整套谎言（虽然是事实），实际上中毒最深的却是他们自己的劳工阶层。以及，American president is no longer the most powerful person on earth, for a looooong time.
创作人把自己当救世主实例。自从the big short尝到奥斯卡的甜头，Adam Mckay就走上了成魔之路，但别忘那可有Michael Lewis的原著打底。这部比vice还焦虑，攒了一堆大咖，也不好看。只能感概现在除了怀念step brothers、anchorman那时的纯真以外，还要为他和Will Ferrell的友谊哀悼
2.5; an exhausting clusterfuck that downgrades serious subject matters into distracting, repetitious, divisive caricatures; the satirical value lies not in its preachy, on-the-nose screenplay, but in how much this mess parallels reality @Concordia
最好笑的末日灾难片，解构了宏大叙事和英雄主义，一切喧闹其实不如家人团圆的一顿晚餐。曾经我们无知是因为信息匮乏，我们渴望信息，于是政客、媒体、互联网制造了信息的洪流，当我们被海量的信息淹没时，我们又重回无知。顺便一说，不懂同台竞技的健听女孩居然会是奥斯卡最佳影片。（今天看了一部纪录片介绍古希腊壁画，提到希腊语“人”ἄνθρωπος的本意就是向上看的物种，手机让全世界变成了低头族，是否意味着一种真正的退化）
真的就是人类当下处境的反射 一场前所未有的危机下反智娱乐至死的民众 无能腐败的政客 无力的学者 更无力的选择相信专家却完全被silenced的也没有任何选择的韭菜 人类文明让人毫无信心 恐怕才是最恐怖的核心
把彗星想象成疫情，唉，其实现实比电影还令人失望。
原以为会是彻头彻尾的软科幻，没想到还真被片尾“直给”的硬核科幻秀到了，非常喜欢将荒诞进行至最后一秒，映射了荒诞至极就是真的道理。
贪嗔痴傻愚昧狂妄又自大的人类。
这就是好莱坞政治总动员的威力，不是说制作有多好，出演就是一种表态，矛盾的是，电影在讽刺当下美国社会的撕裂，中立的空间变得越来越窄，但是这部电影本身又在进一步制造这种撕裂的事实。这种全明星的阵容和题材也是大洋彼岸另一个国家的拿手好戏，故事天差地别，手段别无二致，时代用影像记录下什么叫环球同此凉热。
亚当麦凯竟然拍了一部《2021去死！》，跟年初那部网飞恶搞片一样啊，聚焦当下美国的分裂，将各种社会问题集中于本片展现，点子非常好笑，但是合起来就很散，属于还不错的段子电影
本来是为了捧白左踩红脖子，捧民主党踩共和党，不过结合现实中的美国新冠疫情表现，感觉四个都能感受到冒犯，难怪口碑分化了。
