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.
格调、立意，故事性与思想性都能兼顾。就拍摄技术上，他们的特写对人物皮肤的处理，光影的应用，显得质感十足。
本就是韩国民主化进程中最波澜壮阔的时期，但就电影本身来说前半段观感一般，类型化处理也有待商榷，后一小时才渐入佳境
电影本身的功底很深，抛开电影本身之外讲理念，正义从来不是看你做了什么，而是看你为了什么，一门里，有人是面子就得有人是里子
在🇰🇷新总统选举出来的这一天看完了这片#应景。还有，李善均好帅！我终于get到了！
4.5星给感同身受。被倾其所有去爱和信任的人所鄙夷和不理解，是与他人连接中最大的痛苦。
道胜还是术胜，每个角逐者看法不同。而所谓的正义，恰似片中反派所说，谁胜利了就代表了正义。影子虽然为了内心理想，使用了各种阴损毒辣，但他内心应该是极度鄙视自己，而羡慕金云范的。
本以为是一招 公子献头
阴谋权斗，选举说到底还是靠见不得阳光的手段。基于真实改变这几个字令人害怕
是因为拿了影帝和男配所以打算瞅瞅，没有最后二十分钟的话是三星，因为我喜欢爆炸之后的反转。比起薛景求我更喜欢李善均的表演，两人监狱出来那段很有意思，飙戏很爽。我存的这版字幕真的太简翻了，纯靠我多年经验艰难个人理解了一波。
到半途，会产生一种和当时看《艺伎回忆录》一样的“不辨正邪的诡异热血感”；然而到了最后，金的鸡蛋论让我几乎感动的落泪，或许手握大权真的也是可以心怀大义的。
“光线越强，阴影就越暗。但我喜欢在灯光下看到你。” “我所有关于正义的想法，被我亲手打倒了。” 薛景求又可以预定今年百想影帝了。
柏拉图说：如果做得事情是正义的，那就可以不择手段。即便再有崇高的理想，想要开创一个正义的世界，也需要一些特殊的手段来开辟道路。
韩国人太会拍这样的电影，不服都不行，另一个需要佩服就是主角们的对戏，太炸裂了。
韩国拍政治片确实独到，金大中对影子幕僚的态度值得玩味，党魁选举这场戏惊心动魄，只是还是略理想化了点。薛景求和李善均稳得不行。
道不同，不相为谋啊。一个谋士出的主意主上都不认同，也不相信他，那俩人真的不合适
我们看到的听到的。都是国家想让我们听到的看到的。特别是在中国。
光线越强，阴影就越暗。我喜欢在灯光下看你。
降低预期以后发现没那么差，卞成贤拍正经剧情一般般但是两个男人之间这种微妙情感的确有两下子……李善均和薛景求完全是给电影安了一个稳定的底盘
《王者制造》止步于上述——笼统且老生常谈的政治理解，但其前中期却做出了立场选择的假动作。挑出这对特别的政客和影子，实行对立感强烈的叙事策略，而关于那些口号的实质所指却没有任何具体且坚定的憧憬或判断。如何从中看出实切的“理想主义”？
棒子顯然是拍這類電影拍出了心得，拍出了質量。但這部影片不是太出彩
