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.
非常纯粹和质朴的「cinema」，以至（海德格尔及其后的）形而上学能够显影于此间。人之一生无非是在勘探洞穴中走向死亡。「无」比「有」更原初，「真」则隐匿在黑暗中，等待被揭蔽和照亮。@BJIFF2021
电影想要表达的歌颂母爱啊励志故事啊其实都不如现实生活来的令人深刻，实际发生的一定比呈现出来的更加残忍沉重吧，残奥会冠军已经是出现在公众面前了，那些更普通的残障人士呢，生活究竟是什么样的呢？
有些时候啊（比如今天），我也会疑惑，我等叽叽喳喳百般挑剔的观众，真的有体量有力量去倒逼电影流水线上面涉及质量制作的逻辑么？我没有这个信心，说出这般自大的话。一者，质量并非唯一甚至首要的衡量标准，在急需扩张的时代背景加持下，个体言论也好，群体观点也罢，都无益于市场的增量逻辑，反而是流量明星、热点话题、奇观图景、关键档期等等要素来得更加直接，也更加凑效。二者，电影在社会当下的语境之中，并没有参与建构价值观的职能，而更像一块可消费易消化的点心，削弱的地位自然无需费心劳神地出力做功，只要配合肠胃做到两小时新陈代谢，便是功德圆满阿弥陀佛。消费者拍拍屁股走人，片方投资方数钱分账。对如此制作的影片，我已很难再用不温不火无功无过的形容词，它们低则敷衍，高也启发，高低要素被限定控制在安全的温室，卑微苟存。
不枉我把它放在抢票优先级首位，或许中国人对洞有莫名的迷恋吧，眼耳全开1个半小时，画面上光源和幽暗的对照不断提醒人们，这是来自卡拉瓦乔的国度的作品。还观影友好地提供了让人玩味的情节—放牛老人随探到洞底渐渐去世，或许是由于某种自然守恒/能量守恒？
镜头不错，什么玩意，睡着了，风景挺美，不行，太无聊了，提前退场
時代與生命的交配，向上和向下，相斥與鑲嵌。
@高先电影院，纯粹是听了几个三姑903的访问才想看的，讲到苏妈眠干睡湿凑大个仔，曾经被陌生人兜口兜面闹说都不知道前世做了什么会生出这样的儿子，再回到电影里的逼着孩子走，他们只会怪我，好心酸。很多地方刻画得相当现实，比如不愿接受街坊同情之下的帮助，母亲分配不均的爱，运动员退役后的生计等等，而不是一个人人大爱的虚假故事。社会歧视仍在，同工同酬未有，要多一些理解和支持。
少年和成年苏桦伟演员和吴君如的演技都在线，但剧本还是太过老套了，没有把这个故事真正的力量挖掘出来，可惜了
喜欢！有趣！对照得也好好！就是那么辛辛苦苦画的手稿也不找个石头压一下，被风吹得到处都是的时候我好心疼（。看到牛去闻直接焦虑，但是是好牛牛，也是好驴驴。
电影节奏把握得很好，没有拖沓的感觉，几个妈妈和儿子的对手戏很赚眼泪。尤其那句“你是先天残疾，人们不会怪你，人们怪的是我。”唉……当妈的也有很多心酸
听觉和视觉的接力：血管、洞穴、墨水、光线、火与皮球，创造听觉的动线，始终维持纵深的、延展的视觉运动
赛场上收获奥运金牌的荣光，和赛场下为了生计去做快递员、拍广告片形成了巨大的反差。片子就像一位残障人士的成长路书，聚焦到那些赛场光鲜背后的生活困境，为他们声援“同工同酬”。拍广告片与母亲发生的矛盾，也涉及到运动员商业价值的收益和被工具化的探讨，这都是以往运动题材电影少见的。赛场外的种种细节，构建了对残障运动员的一种关注。
－.可惜整体未达到去繁化简，或是形成均质。潜入洞穴后进行微弱的视觉牵引，在探研者与牧民、图纸与洞的结构间建立强硬的牵制/联立，并不轻盈
每一个镜头都是一幅画（当然这也导致镜头数量很少哈哈
格调悠扬，走神难免，好想知道洞里的场面是怎么拍出来的！
在心里屡屡和小田香的《沉洞泉》进行对比。单说这部影片的话，很喜欢这部影片的结构，自然、地质和生命、肌理的交缠。越是到后面，导演越不想隐藏自己的迷思。生命的轮回和对世界认识的刷新，指向的都是一种可体验的无穷。
蛮扎实的，情感铺垫的很足，细节呈现到位，更多笔墨还是放在了母子关系，以及几个重要时间节点的比赛上，对于残疾人的生存困境有点点到为止，但整体还是很动人的，吴君如和梁仲恒表演都不错，金像奖提名有望。能够关注到残奥会真的很难得，最后的那个还原画面确实又燃又有泪点，类型化做得还可以，四平八稳，不过个别地方有点滥用配乐了。
煽情 尴尬 剧作和拍摄都让人感觉很痛苦 浪费原型了
田径运动员苏桦伟，通过努力「赢在终点」并成为「苏神」的故事，残疾运动员，真实事件改编，体育题材，只能在后半程奋力直追，哪怕已经拿了好几次残奥金牌的苏桦伟，残奥会是让能你看到最坚韧灵魂的地方。表达了母子间的给予，更展现了母子之间的矛盾和痛苦，跑步的赛道很简单，它是直的，只要拼命往前冲就好了，残奥冠军苏桦伟和妈妈的故事，夺得残奥会冠军并打破世界纪录，这对神奇母子的热血励志。
“探寻”的概念，生命流逝和洞穴探险两条线索，医生和探险者，照护和征服。很多很多空镜，险些睡着。洞穴确实太干净了点，看着就像搭的布景。
