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.
整体被家长和教练堆满，很难不说教，太ENTJ了。
故事流畅， 节奏稳定。 可贵之处是优良的家庭教育意识， 以及社会脱困意识的体现。 剧本其实非常平庸， 当然了， 运动传记都一个鸟样。 相比《摔跤吧，爸爸》《印度女孩》 对中国观众来说既缺少感官上的新颖， 又缺少土美土美的舞曲冲击， 相比《妈妈的神奇小子》， 又少了一份坎坷崎岖带来的感动... 整个观感平平无奇， 不痛不痒不牵强， 不出错＝奥斯卡水平？
如此值得玩味的人物性格与其之间的关系，竟然轻描淡写地组织成了一部浓浓的鸡汤电影，体育竞技中的那些残酷与反人性元素完全没有展现。倒还不如直接去掉人物性格的阴暗面还有结尾的伪反高潮，直接拍成当幸福来敲门那种励志到底的电影，还能更好地造梦一把赚取眼泪。
他是一位平凡的父亲，也是一位伟大的“国王”！
如果说 Richard 真的是 King 的话，那么，family 是绝对意义上的 king team.
喜欢演Venus 的小演员 笑起来特别阳光
太多鸡汤台词了，一段接一段，夫妻两个轮番说。冠军真的是被鸡汤养大的？
难看，就结尾结得还行。博人传都比这燃！老奶奶刷牙都比这燃！第一次看到能把体育传记片拍得也如此寡淡无趣的。俩女儿一上来就是天才配置，甚至看不到有任何挫折，到结尾了才勉强有场成长戏。也不明白为何理查德如此坚信女儿能成功，比最初级的励志片完成度还低。理查德这个人物很单薄，形象也很模糊，这人物完全没有内心戏。
{★★★} Will Smith凭借一个爹味角色与颁奖礼上的爹味行为获得奥斯卡殊荣，学院嘉奖的到底是哪一个爹？看完这部电影后我明白了：是戏外的爹。且不说Fences就剖击过相似的黑人爹，对中国人来说他显然不会是什么陌生人物--短评区遍地哀嚎的鸡娃PTSD就是证据。但随着年龄增长，我越来越能理解这些父亲，一个没什么选择的年代教会了他们剥夺孩子的选择，但这不代表我认可他们的行为。就像历史证明Richard Williams的教育是奏效的，不代表那是正确的。
相当励志，理查德相当有眼光，及拥有全面大局观，估计他整天都是为女儿着想，当然中途他陷入自我膨胀，不过有家人和教练帮他走出来，如果能更多焦点放入大威和小威心路历程变化就更好了
综合：8.2
充滿了力量，眼淚不停流。整體其實比較平，Brandi和Richard的那一場對峙全場最佳。堅持和妥協之間，無非就是忍耐和尊重。
拳击，真的很重要。
确实有点太童话了23333 成功学四平八稳 不过还是很喜欢整个故事
平铺直叙的简直比纪录片还白开水，明明是很振奋的故事不知道为啥拍的不是很振奋……
第一个教练太亏了
Will Smith演得真棒，希望可以捧到小金人。V被世界冠军击败打开门好多粉丝支持她真的又被打动到！教育方式太重要了，虽然他有些思想和观念很老很固执，但是他都是想保护自己的女儿，看《灰姑娘》那里想给女儿们说要谦虚，只能说这种家庭出来的孩子已经击败很多其他家庭。
鸡娃鸡到这份上也只能说真牛逼（没有任何讽刺或者说反话的意思，是真牛逼）But，作为一个已经躺平了的人来说，鸡娃是什么，娃是什么，我过好自己的人生就真的够了啊！
不管人物讨不讨喜，确实是真实呈现了世界级运动明星的一段侧写。虽然看完觉得真的是靠大小V姐妹无敌的天赋，让老爸再怎么霍霍也最终还是成功了。will smith值得小金人，完全本色出演toxic masculinity。让人思考他在Oscar上的表现是还没出戏，还是电影本身的延续 ：）
或许这就是一个深爱五个女儿的父亲，被生活所迫，生活在贫民窟中，需要拥有的样子吧。他值得多一些体谅。
